Snow is expected to arrive across portions of central and north Georgia starting Tuesday, with accumulations leading to slippery and dangerous travel conditions through Wednesday morning.

❄️ What’s Happening:

  • A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for parts of central Georgia from 10 a.m. Tuesday to 7 a.m. Wednesday, with up to three inches of snow possible, especially in west-central areas.
  • A Winter Weather Advisory covers parts of north and central Georgia for the same time frame, where snowfall will generally remain under one inch.

📏 Snow Accumulations:

  • Central Georgia could see accumulations of up to three inches in areas under the Winter Storm Warning.
  • Northern parts under the advisory will likely receive less than one inch. The exact northern reach of the snowfall remains uncertain, and adjustments may be made to advisory areas.

⏰ When to Expect It:

  • Snowfall is expected to begin Tuesday morning and continue through Wednesday morning, with the most significant impacts during the Tuesday afternoon and evening commutes.

🚗 Travel Concerns:

  • Snow, even in small amounts, will create slick and hazardous road conditions.
  • Below-freezing temperatures Tuesday night mean icy conditions could persist into Wednesday morning, affecting both commutes.

🌡️ Why It’s Dangerous: Subfreezing temperatures will prevent melting and keep roads treacherous overnight and into Wednesday. Drivers are urged to plan ahead and limit travel when possible.

📅 What’s Next:

  • Local officials may adjust advisories as snowfall patterns become clearer.
  • Monitor updates to stay informed about the latest conditions in your area.

🌟 Remember the Golden Rule: Offer help to neighbors in need, especially those without reliable heating. Check in on elderly residents and clear walkways when it’s safe to do so.
