Snow is winding down across metro Atlanta and north Georgia, leaving behind significant accumulation in some areas.

Bad weather postponed or canceled many anti-ICE protests in metro Atlanta on Saturday, but a few protestors on both sides of the issue turned up anyway.

ATLANTA — Accumulating snow arrives overnight and Saturday morning at the beginning of a prolonged cold snap to the region, during which much of north Georgia will spend 60+ hours at or below freezing.

Snow totals will be highest in northeast Georgia, where 6"+ is possible in higher elevations. For Atlanta and the inner metro, 1 to 3 inches of snow is possible.

The winter storm warning areas have the potential to see up to 2-4 inches of snow. The winter weather advisory areas have the potential to see up to 1-2 inches of snow.

ATL DOT is using brine and salt to raise pavement temperatures and prevent snow from sticking.

A Weather Impact Alert has been issued for prolonged sub-freezing temperatures, as well as the possibility of snow on Saturday.

The forecast predicts varied weather in Atlanta, with possible snow showers and fluctuating temperatures including chilly lows and a warming trend into the following week.

Unusually quiet streets, icy conditions, and power outages define a challenging morning for Atlanta and DeKalb County residents, prompting many to heed warnings and stay indoors.
