ATLANTA — The snow has moved out of metro Atlanta, but the icy road conditions haven’t cleared for Wednesday.

Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan says there will be limited thawing today and what’s on the ground will stay on the ground for the next couple of days.

Monahan says if you don’t have to go anywhere, it’s best to stay home and off the roads.
