Atlanta Weather | Blustery, cold weather follows snow/rain mix

ATLANTA — Some residents in north Georgia saw a rare November snowfall this morning, while others in metro Atlanta just got a cold, soaking rain.

Georgians saw a variety of precipitation early Wednesday ranging from rain to flurries to snow accumulation in the mountains.

Viewers in west Georgia reported snow flurries as early as 4 a.m. The snow quickly moved east through Atlanta leaving a light powder on many yards. Some sent pictures of a dusting on their patio furniture and cars.

Meteorologist Karen Minton said temperatures would struggle to stay above freezing throughout the day. The snow had completely turned to rain by 8:30 a.m. as wind picked up.

Georgia Power reported 4,500 customers without power.

A wind advisory is in effect until 1 p.m., which will get rid of any moisture.

"It will feel cold, in the 30s all day, with strong winds making it feel like the teens," Minton said.

Expect a cold Thanksgiving Day with lows in the mid-20s and highs in the mid-40s. Despite the cold, the day is expected to be sunny.

Chief meteorologist Glenn Burns will have the latest developments on Channel 2 Action News beginning at 4.
