Winter Storm Watch Expands to Atlanta Metro
Decatur Metro | January 27, 2014 | 10:15 amWhere did this come from? From the AJC [bolding mine]…
The winter storm watch posted for Tuesday for the southern suburbs southward through middle Georgia has been expanded northward to include almost all of metro Atlanta, with forecasters warning that a “significant” winter storm is likely.
The watch, which goes into effect Tuesday morning and continues into early Wednesday, was initially issued Sunday for Clayton, Coweta, Fayette and Henry counties southward. But early Monday, the National Weather Service added Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Paulding, Douglas, Carroll, Haralson, Barrow, Jackson and Madison counties to the watch area.
The Weather Service said snow accumulations of a half inch to 2 inches are possible in those new counties, while south of there, accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are possible.
DeKalb Avenue Freezes Over
Decatur Metro | January 5, 2010 | 10:13 amThis was fun.
Atlanta police barricaded DeKalb Avenue, a busy thoroughfare through Atlanta’s east side, Monday evening after a broken fire hydrant spilled water for two hours with the temperature below freezing.
I also saw a pretty awesome ice sculpture on the edge of Woodruff Park this morning, created by another fire hydrant that had blown apart at some point overnight.
Stupid expanding ice.
