Ice glazes Atlanta: Freezing rain coats metro Atlanta

Freezing rain is currently glazing metro Atlanta, with temperatures holding steady at 32°F and creating "shiny" ice on spots like Georgia 400. Meteorologist Alex Forbes warns of a two-wave system: the current morning freezing rain and a more substantial "Wave 2" arriving later this afternoon as a massive winter storm moves in from the west. Significant ice accumulation is already occurring at the airport, while areas further south like Griffin and Carrollton remain on the "transitional cusp" near 33°F.
