Snowfall is in the forecast for Cobb County, with the possibility of measurable accumulation tomorrow.
What’s Happening: As of Tuesday, January 9, at 3 p.m., forecasters are predicting between one and two inches of snow on Friday for Cobb County.
Why It Matters: Snow in Georgia often leads to icy roads, school closures, and significant traffic disruptions. With local infrastructure not typically equipped to handle snowy conditions, residents could experience delays or other challenges as crews work to clear roads. This forecast marks the first measurable snow for the area this season, and authorities are likely to be on high alert.
In Cobb, both Cobb County Schools and Marietta City Schools will be closed on Friday.
What’s Next: Residents should monitor weather updates closely as Friday approaches. Those needing to travel should allow extra time and exercise caution on icy roads.
Keep watching for updates as the situation develops, and remember, a few inches of snow can go a long way in Georgia, especially when icy roads are involved.
