Winter weather closes some north Georgia schools

Snow was falling in some areas of northern-most Georgia this morning. Because of that, two school systems called-off classes for today--students in Fannin and Rabun counties get another day-off to extend their Thanksgiving holiday break.

The National Weather Service says there is a winter weather advisory in effect until 1am Tuesday morning for 10 northeast Georgia mountain counties. Forecasters say there could be snow accumulations of up to two inches for elevations above 2,500 feet.

Snow in north Georgia

Snowing is coming down tonight in parts of Georgia right now, including downtown Atlanta. Three north Georgia counties are under a Winter Storm Warning through 11:15 tonight. They are Stephens, Habersham, and Rabun counties. There are weather advisories for much of north Georgia overnight as storms move through the state.
