Christmas Day Snow in North Georgia

ATLANTA, Ga. - The wintry mix that entered the state early Christmas moing is expected to continue across north Georgia and parts of central Georgia into the evening through Sunday moing. 

FOX 5 Meteorologist Ken Cook says portions of north Georgia are under a winter storm waing until 6 a.m. Sunday.

The greatest snow accumulations will be generally along and north of a Rome to Gainesville line where two to four inches are possible through Sunday moing.

One to two inch snow totals are possible in the Atlanta and Athens areas.

For areas generally south of an Atlanta to Athens line a light dusting of snow is possible Saturday night.

Greater amounts are possible in the higher elevations. As of 6 p.m. Saturday, Pickens County reported five inches of snow.

As temperatures continue to drop, anything left on the roads after 11 p.m. will freeze, making driving conditions hazardous, says Cook.

Travelers are urged to use caution if they must be on the roads.
