NE Ga gets snow, cold weather

There were Sunday flurries as far south as Athens; there were snow accumulations in parts of the north Georgia mountains, as much of north Georgia begins Monday with temperatures at or below freezing. It’s going to get even colder later in the week, with overnight lows expected to fall into the low- to mid-20s by Thursday morning when the mercury in Athens and Gainesville is expected to bottom out at around 25 degrees.  The mountain counties could see teens early Thursday.

Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said he's expecting temperatures to run below average across north Georgia and the metro area through next weekend.

Another front is expected to move through on Monday with some rain.

"This is the same system that will deliver a major snowstorm to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this week," Monahan said.

Behind it, it’ll be unseasonably cold with highs Tuesday and Wednesday in the 40s across the metro.
