Does it "usually" snow in Atlanta .
No. Occasionally, yes, but not usually. Atlanta experiences, on average, one ice storm every other year or so --- usually between mid-December and mid-March. Yes, a snowstorm or mild icestorm will usually throw the city into a tizzy, effectively shutting it down for a day. However, snowstorms & such are such an infrequent occurrence here that it's not worth the municipal money to invest in snow plows, etc. --- which is precisely why Atlanta shuts down for a day. We're poorly equipped to handle the rare bouts of snow and ice.

Answer 3

There can be but it depends. I don't think this year we will have much due to having such a hot summer but who knows. I have always lived in Georgia and I was born in a Georgia snow storm back in the 80's one of the worst in Georgia ever.

Answer 4

It's snowing in my part of Georgia as well!! Or at least it was, now it's slowly melting.....Ah well it was fun while it lasted. I even made a mini snowman ^_^ I wish it would have stayed a little longer, it's not fair to tease us like that. It's been years since we've had any snow. I'll just send a prayer out that I wake up to a beautiful white morning(so I don't have to go to work!)
