Snow accumulations will likely stay limited to elevated surfaces and grassy areas, though bridges and overpasses may become slippery.

- Accumulation: Trace amounts up to 0.5 inch possible on elevated surfaces and grassy areas
- Higher elevations: Greater totals expected at elevations above 2,000 feet
- Road conditions: Roads may become slick in affected areas

What’s Important
Minor travel impacts are possible due to slick roads in the north Georgia mountains. Drivers should use caution on bridges, overpasses, and elevated roadways during the overnight hours.
The snow is part of a cold front moving through the area Wednesday night.
“In Atlanta, we don’t prepare for snow. We panic professionally.”
