Temperatures to dip into the 20s, flurries possible Christmas morning

ATLANTA — It’s going to be a freezing cold Christmas morning for everyone in north Georgia and some lucky folks could see some flurries.

Parts of north Georgia got a treat Thursday evening as snow fell on Christmas Eve.

Snow flurries began falling by around 4 p.m. in several metro Atlanta counties.

Georgia Department of Transportation vehicles are preparing to treat potentially icy roads.

“We can’t wave a magic wand and get all the ice off the road, but we’re doing what we can with the tools we have to improve where we can road conditions,” GDOT spokesperson Natalie Dale said. " So there will be black ice patches tomorrow. That is just the nature of black ice. It’s sneaky.”
