Snow Falls on North Georgia

For the last hour or so it’s been snowing in Lawrenceville. Big, heavy white flakes continue to fall, causing some of the shrubs to bend over as if it was ice. With the temperature having dropped to 33 degrees, the snow is beginning to stick on the grass and cold cars, however it’s turning to slush on roads, walks and driveways.

A picture from a little while ago shows the snow in my backyard:

Looking at the radar, it looks like the heaviest precipitation is falling in the metro Atlanta area. The back end of the snow appears to be along the Georgia/Alabama line, so I don’t know how long it will last. Update: The weather service has issued a winter storm warning for much of north central Georgia, including the metro Atlanta area through midnight tonight. They say we could get an additional two inches of snow. If this is true and tonight’s low temperatures drop into the 20s as expected, it could be nasty in the morning.

The real threat, of course, is not here in Georgia, but further north, from DC to New England, as this storm, combined with the one that pulled through yesterday could be one of the worst of the season as it passes through tonight and Monday.

I’ll post more updates later, but feel free to comment on the snow in your area.
