How can a few inches of snow, falling on a single weekend, become a safety issue to cover several days in metro Atlanta? North Georgia has just begun to thaw the remaining ice in a few places, and another batch of winter has already become imminent.

Snow began falling in metro Atlanta on Saturday morning with the National Weather Service predicting that some parts of the region could see several inches of accumulation before it's through.

The winter storm warning areas have the potential to see up to 2-4 inches of snow. The winter weather advisory areas have the potential to see up to 1-2 inches of snow.

The forecast predicts varied weather in Atlanta, with possible snow showers and fluctuating temperatures including chilly lows and a warming trend into the following week.

Bad weather postponed or canceled many anti-ICE protests in metro Atlanta on Saturday, but a few protestors on both sides of the issue turned up anyway.
