Ice Storm Warning: Half-inch totals for NE Georgia
A significant ice storm is gripping the region, with freezing rain glazing trees and surfaces as a "wedge" of Arctic air pushes through. While a brief transition to heavy rain is expected, the combination of accumulating ice and 30 mph wind gusts is already causing power outages and treacherous road conditions. Forecasters warn that overnight moisture will refreeze, potentially dropping wind chills into the single digits by Monday morning.
