North Georgians are getting their first true taste of winter this week with sub-freezing temperatures and even some snow.
A light dusting of snow fell across the higher elevations of Georgia Monday afternoon and overnight. The snow stopped falling before dawn but with temperatures in the 20s, a light dusting lingered in more mountainous terrain.
Several counties in extreme northern Georgia closed schools or moved classes online including Chattooga, Dawson, Fannin, Gilmer, Pickens, Towns, and Union. Elsewhere, North Georgians are feeling the effects of bitter cold.
Highs this week will be in the low 40s and 50s. Overnight lows will be in the mid-20s and 30s.
