The snow may be over in north Georgia, but dropping temperatures in the next few hours will lead to dangerous conditions on metro Atlanta's roads and potential power outages.

State officials held a press briefing Friday morning at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) State Operations Center to update the public on their response to the winter storm impacting Georgia.

The winter storm that knocked out power and brought plunging temperatures to other parts of the country moves into metro Atlanta and north Georgia this weekend, and state officials are urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel.

Storm Warning is in effect for almost all of north Georgia, including all of metro Atlanta, from 5 a.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday.

It's left a white layer across the region that we're not very used to. And it appears to have come in particularly thick right in the middle of Atlanta, even relative to more northern parts of the metro area.
