Coldest Air Since 1986 and Accumulating Snow This Week

The COLDEST air since 1986 (yes, you read that right) is headed right here to North Georgia and it will be here in just a matter of days. But before we get that, we are talking more accumulating snow for the mountains and for the entire Metro Atlanta area. 

We will see rain move through Sunday night, but as the sun goes down, the temps will as well. When the temps fall, rain will transition to snow. Accumulations amounts stand as this. We could see trace to 1 in most spots but as we head into Gilmer, Fannin, Union, and Towns Counties we could see 2-3", the same in Dade and Walker.

After the snow falls, we will see the temps will still TUMBLE. Start off in the Northwest Georgia Mountains we are looking at lows Tuesday morning as low as 2, only 2, two. The Northeast GA Mountains, the Tuesday morning low will be around zero. In metro Atlanta, we are talking lows near 9. Then, factor winds 23-30mph with 45 mph gusts. Its going to down right frigid. 


Of course, a lot of this will change as it approaches. We are confident on the cold air but the snow totals, they are just starters because they just came into range. We will have updates tomorrow!

No there will not be any snow in Cartersville as there will be a circle around the city that will block all snow from entering the city. However all cities and counties outside of that circle will get up to an inch of snow just like the map shows. If you have more questions you can ask my five year old as he didn't have any problem at all with the map.

There will definitely be a run on the grocery stores. I hope all buy sensible foodstuffs instead of junk foods.

Well I hope it is not bad on the roads. My husband drives a truck locally. I hope the local cities are preparing to salt the roads.

Being from New England & living in Georgia for 14 years, I still don't understand why there's a rush on the grocery stores for an inch of snow. It's not like anyone is going to be snowed in for days like in the Northern states. Goodness, we didn't hit the stores unless we were predicted to have 12" or more of snow with ice.
