It's effective through 9 a.m. Friday.

Do you miss the January 2011 snowstorm? Check out our slideshow of last year's wintry weather. Then take our poll and let us know how you feel about the frozen stuff.
A year ago today, metro Atlantans were battling a bear of a snowstorm. The storm dumped a half a foot or more of snow on the ground, closing schools for a week, disrupting some government services and leaving many of us in hibernation until the frozen stuff finally thawed. We may have temps in the 60s this week, but Patch wanted to share some cool images from last year's storm, shot by our editors, correspondents and readers. Enjoy.

Light snow is possible late tonight and early Tuesday across north and central Georgia.
It may be a little soon to be thinking about a "White Christmas," but according to the National Weather Service there's a good chance the white stuff is on its way. The special weather statement includes Forsyth County, along with dozens more, that may be affected with light snow. The weather experts report that there is enough cold air in place as the moisture moves into west Georgia late tonight to produce a light rain and light snow mix. But it's expected to change over to all light snow by sunrise on Tuesday. The good news all precipitation will end by mid-afternoon Tuesday. Another tidbit of good news, surface temperatures are not expected to drop below freezing, so any snow that falls will melt on impact. The outlook for Monday …

If it's going to be cold, I want snow! Send me a note and I'll pick uop your groceries! I learned to drive in the stuff at an early age. Unless it's pure ice (or compacted snow), no worries here. Problem in this area is watching out for the other guy who doesn't know how to drive in the stuff. more ›
