ATLANTA — The city of Atlanta is bracing for a rare winter storm that is expected to hit the area ahead of Super Bowl LIII. Up to an inch of snow is expected in the metro area, with ice being the main concern after the storm.
While an inch of snow in New England is a common occurrence during the winter months, Atlanta seldom deals with that type of weather.
Back in 2014, two inches of snow blanketed the Atlanta area, causing people to abandon vehicles trapped in the snow on area highways. For days vacant cars, trucks and buses remained on the roads while the city tried thawing out streets.
However, this time around, officials for the city of Atlanta say they are ready for any impending snow.
