Short answer: Yes, it can snow in Atlanta, but it’s infrequent and usually does not accumulate or cause major disruptions. Context

• Atlanta sees measurable snowfall only occasionally. The city averages about 2 inches of snow per winter season, but many winters have little to no accumulation. Snow events with meaningful impacts are relatively rare and typically involve brief, light accumulations or ice rather than heavy snow.

• When snow does occur, it often comes with a rapid drop in temperature and can lead to slick road conditions, even if the snow is sparse. Forecasts from local stations and national sources emphasize that ice and brief snow events are more common threats than large snowstorms in the area.

Practical takeaways

• If you hear about snow in Atlanta, expect light flurries or a thin coating rather than a heavy snowstorm.
• Driving safety: even a small amount of snow or ice can cause slick roads in this region due to less frequent winter maintenance and driver unfamiliarity with winter conditions.
• Be mindful of forecasts for adjacent north Georgia counties, where snow and ice are more likely to occur than in downtown Atlanta.
