At noon, the National Weather Service released a compilation of unofficial reports of snowfall totals in parts of the state. In metro Atlanta, that includes Hall County, where between 3 to 5 inches of snow has already fallen. In Gwinnett, up to 1.5 inches. Other areas of the metro report from trace amounts to a bit higher.
The totals are higher in far north Georgia: the range goes from 1.5 inches of snow in Lumpkin County, to totals of 4 to 4.5 inches in areas of Towns and White counties.
Overnight from Saturday evening into the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, the issue in metro Atlanta was rain with high wind gusts that brought down many trees and tree limbs. Those included reports in Sandy Springs, Forsyth County, Cobb County and elsewhere.
In Roswell, a tree came down near city hall.
