Right now Atlanta is trapped in a will it / won’t it cycle of snow and wintry weather. Last weekend Atlanta prepped for the massive winter storm that hit the whole east coast… but largely missed the ATL. The storm brought ice and freezing rain, and caused a lot of power outages across the southeast, North Georgia suffering more than the rest of the state.
But if you were hoping the winter weather was over for the year… we’ve got some bad news for you. This weekend could bring even more winter weather: but this time, snow, not ice! Keep scrolling to see what we know so far.
