how much snow in atlanta
A storm that brings several inches to the city may not seem like a big deal for people across the northern U.S., but Atlanta, as well as other cities across the South, is not equipped to handle much snow. Last winter, a major storm system delivered 4 to 5 inches of snow to Atlanta, bringing the city to a virtual standstill. That storm forced the city to increase its snow removal operation from 10 to more than 115 pieces of equipment, according to the AJC. The odds of another snowstorm like this affecting Atlanta this year are small. Chances of Atlanta having another white Christmas are close to zero. Last year, 1.2 inches of snow fell on Christmas Day in Atlanta, making it the first time in 128 years that measurable snow whitened the city on Dec. 25.
