Winter's Regional Effects Span Tourism, Snow, Cold

A cold snap is expected to bring North Georgia highs in the 50s and morning lows in the 20s and 30s by the weekend, with frost and freezes likely; forecasters say snow is not expected in metro Atlanta and the chance of frozen precipitation in the region’s highest elevations is very low. Separate reports highlight how snowfall can vary sharply between nearby North Carolina and Massachusetts communities, even when they receive similar amounts of moisture.
