A few flurries speckled the skies in the north part of metro Atlanta on Monday afternoon amid the region’s first freezing temperatures of the season.

It is so cold that a winter weather advisory is in effect across portions of the state’s northern half until 7 a.m. Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. The agency issues such advisories when any combination of snow, ice or sleet is expected, but conditions shouldn’t be hazardous enough to issue a warning.

Snow started dusting the trees atop Brasstown Bald, Georgia’s highest peak, around noon Monday. It’s already the second time this year that snow fell on the mountain, the first happening Nov. 3. Schools in nearby Fannin County released students early Monday.

A few flakes also started falling in Dunwoody and other parts of the north metro around 2:30 p.m., though they were sparse and melted instantly.

Morning temps in the 20s and 30s Monday and Tuesday are a drastic change to the weekend’s comfortable weather. Don’t worry, though, we’ll get another taste of the 70s before winter officially starts Dec. 21. But first, we have to get through this freeze.

“You can hear the cold coming in,” Channel 2 Action News meteorologist Brian Monahan said as the sun rose Monday. “That means we talk wind chills that are very, very low. Make sure we have that heaviest winter weather gear, that heavy puffy coat ready to go today.”
