Atlanta braces for major ice storm: What you need to know

Metro Atlanta and North Georgia are preparing for a massive, long-duration ice storm expected to be the most significant in over a decade. Meteorologists are tracking a specific atmospheric setup involving a "wedge" of cold air and a "warm nose" aloft that will likely result in heavy freezing rain rather than snow. Officials have already activated high-level emergency operations, and Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport has deployed its "cold weather playbook," utilizing millions in new equipment to avoid the paralysis seen in 2014.
