The Brief
- The last “white Christmas” in Georgia occurred in 2010, with snowfall ranging from 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains.
- The 2010 snowstorm was the first measurable Christmas Day snowfall in the Atlanta Metro area since 1881, creating hazardous conditions with icy roads and strong winds.
- Leading up to Christmas, sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia, but dry conditions will likely persist until Christmas Eve or Day.
ATLANTA – For most Georgians, a “white Christmas” is either a dream or a distant memory. You’d have to go back to 2010 to find the last time snow fell across the Peach State on December 25. Now, after more than a decade of snowless Christmases, many are hoping for wintry weather in Atlanta and north Georgia this holiday season.
