I'm in Oklahoma and started the information for Oklahomans to post weather info.
Here on this thread, Georgia FReepers can post what is going on in the state... :-)

A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 p.m. Saturday.
Snow will continue to overspread the region this evening and become heavier. As much as three inches of new snow accumulation is expected across the mountains before midnight, and perhaps an inch or two will accumulate elsewhere, a statement from the National Weather Service shows.
As relative milder air arrives aloft overnight, snow will mix with and change to sleet and freezing rain mainly south and southwest of the French Broad Valley.
Accumulating precipitation will lessen from midday Saturday onward. Total snow accumulations could be as high as 12 to 14 across northwest North Carolina to as little as two to four inches across the southwest North Carolina mountain valleys and into the South Carolina and northeast Georgia mountains, where a damaging and/or hazardous accumulation of ice and sleet may occur on top of the snow.
Precautionary/preparedness actions
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow, sleet and ice are expected or occurring. Heavy wet snow and/or ice accumulations may result in toppled trees and/or power lines. Travel is expected to become very hazardous or impossible.
To report snow, sleet or ice accumulations, call the National Weather Service's toll-free reporting line at 877-633-6772.
Okay, Georgia FReepers... send in those snow and ice reports and what’s going on in the state of Georgia as this big winter storm moves through... :-)

While residents in the North Georgia mountains brace for modest accumulations of snow and ice, metro Atlanta should expect nothing but rain -- and plenty of it.
Four to six inches of snow and 1/2-3/4 inches of ice predicted for the mountains, with as much as a foot possible along the North Carolina border.
School officials in Union and Rabun counties decided to send students home at 1 p.m. Friday. Towns County schools closed at 1:30 p.m., 30 minutes before Gilmer County's schools, as officials braced for the onslaught of ice and snow.
Areas of the state along and north of a line from Chatsworth through Dawsonville and Gainesville to Danielsville remain under a winter storm warning from 4 p.m. Friday through 1 p.m. Saturday. The Weather Service warns that icing "may result in downed tree branches and power lines. Prepare for power outages."

And how is it doing for you Georgia FReepers today, over in Georgia-land? :-)
Anyone see that ice or snow there, in any parts of Georgia?
