| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A mixture of light rain and snow began over northwest Georgia by late morning on Feb 23, and gradually spread eastward during the afternoon. A winter weather advisory was issued for the counties along and north of a line from Polk to White counties. The advisory eventually was expanded by early in the morning of the 24th to include counties as far south as Carroll to Clayton to Oglethorpe. Temperatures were in the upper 30s to mid 40s, so the snow did not stick at first. As temperatures slowly fell into the upper 20s to lower 30s, snow began accumulating in patchy areas. One to two inches of snow accumulated over much of north Georgia before the precipitation ended before daybreak on the 24th. There were spotty 3 inch amounts in higher elevations. Accumulation was mainly on grassy areas and metal surfaces. |
