As of the latest models Wednesday night, if you live in the far North Georgia mountains, you will likely see about 4-6 inches of snow by the time the storm leaves early Saturday morning. “Little, if any ice will mix in,” Nitz said. The southern parts of the mountains to the northern part of metro Atlanta will see about 2-4 inches of snow.

The FOX 5 Storm Team has declared Friday and Saturday Storm Alert Days due to the threat of winter weather in Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. "It used to be for the masses — but now is totally out of reach for most people."

Right now, we are still 48 hours away from the winter event, but as we get closer, it is likely to be upgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory or a Winter Storm Warning.
