Good morning, everyone.  The National Weather Service held a webinar this morning to discuss the upcoming weather event .  The winter warning has been extended northward into the metro Atlanta area.  At the present time, the surface air is very dry and precipitation will not reach the ground until the surface air is saturated.  In our area, we can expect possibly 2" of snow with some sleet.  The snow will be very dry.  Sleet will impact the total snowfall.  Potential exists for bands of heavier snow to produce higher amounts of snow.  Significant impacts will be felt from this storm system.  By 8:00 p.m. tonight, area wide temperatures will be freezing or below with precipitation.  There will be a hard freeze tonight and in the morning with dangerous wind chills.  Wednesday afternoon temperatures will warm up slightly above freezing but roads will refreeze overnight. 

The National Weather Service advised there might be problems during the afternoon rush hour today and they are suggesting leaving work early to avoid the wintry mix.

The link to the entire PowerPoint presentation is below.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information.  Stay warm and safe!

Thanks, Karla

The difficult can be done immediately, the impossible takes time.
