The snow was here before dawn and then quickly stopped, leaving just the cold behind.
While the mountain areas of Georgia saw more snow, the winter system in metro Atlanta offered a light dusting starting in the western part of metro Atlanta before dawn.
Here are some social media posts from early-risers who saw it. (If you have snow pictures from this morning, tag @ajc so we’ll see them)

Roads were wet coming in to @weatherchannel this morning, but check out the #snow near my house northwest of #Atlanta! Sticking a bit to the grass and my back deck!
