A winter storm is heading toward North Georgia, and forecasters say it could bring hazardous travel conditions by Friday morning.
What’s Happening: A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for most of North Georgia from 7 a.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday. Forecasters warn of heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the region.
Why It Matters: Residents should expect dangerous road conditions as ice and snow accumulate. Travel may become difficult or impossible in some areas. Power outages are also a concern due to ice buildup on trees and power lines.
