Light amounts of sleet and, in a few of the higher elevations, snow spread across the area.  The bulk of the precipitation fell during the early morning hours between 4 am EST and 8 am EST.  Temperatures across the area were mostly in the mid to upper 30s at the onset of the precipitation and had been in the 50s and 60s in prior days.  Thus, accumulations of snow were limited mainly to the higher elevations of the northeast Georgia mountains, mainly for elevations above 3000 feet near the Lumpkin, Union, White county borders, where 1.0 to 2.0 inches of snow were reported.  Patchy slick spots developed during the early morning hours on a few roads, mainly in the far northern counties.  Patchy ice was reported on some of the bridges and overpasses on the north and west side of Atlanta during the early morning hours as well.  A few roads in the northeast Georgia mountains were closed, but mainly as a precaution.  The most snow reported was 2.0 inches at Suches in southern Union county, with 1.0 inch of snow reported at Ellijay in Gilmer county.  Elsewhere...further south and west to near I-85 and I-20 west of Atlanta, just light trace amounts of sleet and snow were reported, with isolated locations in the northwest reporting up to 0.5 inch of sleet and snow.
