Snow is tapering off across North Georgia. 1-4″ fell across most of the region this morning, with some sleet and freezing rain then impacting through the afternoon. After the low pressure pulled through, more snow filled in across North Georgia bringing accumulating snowfall even to the city of Atlanta.
Locally storm totals of 3-6″ are being reported. Around 4″ fell across most of White and Habersham Counties.
Parts of Rabun County saw 8-9″, particularly around Sky Valley where at least 9″ has been measured.
The snow made driving dangerous but also added some fun to an otherwise laid-back Sunday as people built snowmen and went sledding.
Roads remain treacherous this evening and will get worse overnight as any untreated roadways that melted during the afternoon refreeze. Widespread black ice is expected through mid-morning on Monday. Highs will only reach into the upper-30s on Monday afternoon so more black ice could become a problem on Tuesday morning on untreated secondary roads.
The entire northern half of Georgia remains under a State of Emergency.
