ATLANTA — There’s a winter storm warning impacting parts of Georgia and a winter weather advisory in effect for even more of the state.
With temperatures south of freezing and even colder with wind chill, the metro Atlanta area could see up to two inches of now later on Tuesday morning.
Even without the snow, Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said areas that don’t see snow will still have dangerous cold.
While a cold day might seem like a good time to head to some of the fun attractions around the metro Atlanta area, not all of them are open, and some have limited hours.
