ATLANTA — Snow flurries moved through parts of north Georgia Monday night as temperatures dipped below freezing once again.
By Tuesday morning the snowfall had stopped, leaving just a few icy patches on roads until temperatures began to warm up throughout the day.
For now, it looks as though the worst on the winter cold front that swept through the area over the weekend is behind us. Temperatures are expected to warm above freezing into the 40s, melting most ice and snow left behind.
By nightfall, those temperatures can be expected to dip back into the low 30s across much of the area.
