While winter started off mild, a bitter cold snap is sending Atlantans in a tizzy.
A winter weather advisory has been posted for Monday night for extreme north Georgia for as much as 1.5 inches of snow!
Atlanta area forecasters are predicting up to a half-inch snow is possible in the northern suburbs of Atlanta. The rest of the metro area will likely see rain overnight. But you never know, so it's best to be prepared.
There's a 90 percent chance of a wintry mix for metro Atlanta early Tuesday, along with early morning temperatures in the mid-30s. Make sure to take precautions at home and when you're out on the road.
The National Weather Serivce says periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain will cause travel difficulties. The National Weather Service reports up to a half-inch of snow could gather across Bartow, Cherokee, Forsyth, Hall, Banks, Floyd and Polk counties.
Everything should turn to rain by Tuesday afternoon, when temperatures hopefully will jump into the upper 40s.
But don't go shopping for snow shovels just yet, as Thursday, afternoon the temperature highs will climb to near 70 degrees, with overnight lows in the 50s.
During the freeze make sure to let your house faucets drip, cover up air drafts, protect outside plants and flowers and keep your pets indoors.
