Okay, Georgia, we have snow, and it’s colder here than it’s been in a very long time. These conditions are so unusual for us, it makes Southerners, unaccustomed to extreme winter weather, wonder just how bad we have it at the moment.
The National Weather Service in Peachtree City is warning Georgians to stay off roads across large portions of the state. 2 to 6 inches of snow is expected to fall in the Southwest region of the state, with 0 to 1 inch or more in Atlanta and suburbs.
According to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, below-normal temperatures are expected throughout the weekend, warming up by Monday, Jan. 13. Rain, snow, freezing rain and ice are expected across Georgia through Jan. 11, which could impact travel.
A major winter storm is expected to be the biggest in years as cold air moves in from the Arctic bringing snow and frigid temperatures across 20 Southern States.
