It’s the first weekend of the year and the Deep South’s first winter storm arrived on cue. Atlanta, Georgia is got blanketed by snow as of 9 a.m. About an hour from now, a wintry mix was set for the rest of the day, which will make the roads slick and dangerous.
Every January, the coldest of cold snaps invades the Atlanta area, and this second week in January 2025, it was no different.
If you want to know just how much precipitation is in store, this article will tell you everything you want to know.
How Much Snow Will Fall in Atlanta?
This weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, snow and ice accumulation is forecasted to be between **1 to 3 inches. At 9 a.m. Friday, much of North Georgia had seen upwards of 2 inches. People are having fun in the Atlanta snow.
The temperatures are expected to remain in the low to mid-30s, with a 100% chance of precipitation. Preparations for potential hazardous travel conditions are advisable.
The National Weather Service said late Friday afternoon, “Forecast snowfall totals have come down areawide due to higher confidence in a transition to a wintry mix/freezing rain during the day Friday. Far north Georgia still looks to receive the most — 2-3″ inches, with locally higher amounts up to 4-5″.”
Weather models shared by Atlanta News First meteorologist Ella Dorsey showed snow in and around Atlanta beginning early Friday.
“We should get a few hours of heavy snow tomorrow morning. But the freezing rain and rain will likely wash a lot of that snow away in the afternoon,” Dorsey shared on social media.
When Was the Last Time Atlanta Got a Big Ice Storm?
rior to this, the last measurable snowfall in Atlanta occurred on January 18, 2018.
One of the most notable recent events was in January 2014, when approximately two inches of snow led to widespread disruptions, commonly referred to as “Snowmageddon.”
Historically, Atlanta’s record for the highest single-day snowfall is 8.3 inches, which fell on January 23, 1940.
How To Prepare Your Home for Snow and Ice
Preparing your home for snow and ice ensures safety, comfort, and protection against winter damage. Here’s a comprehensive guide:
1. Insulate Your Home
- Seal Drafts: Use weather stripping, caulk, or draft guards around windows and doors to prevent cold air from entering.
- Add Insulation: Check your attic, walls, and pipes for adequate insulation to retain heat and prevent freezing.
2. Protect Your Pipes
- Wrap Pipes: Use pipe insulation to prevent them from freezing and bursting.
- Let Faucets Drip: Keep a slow trickle of water flowing from faucets to relieve pressure in the pipes.
- Shut Off Exterior Faucets: Drain and turn off outdoor water spigots to avoid freezing.
3. Check Your Heating System
- Service Your Furnace: Schedule a professional tune-up to ensure it’s working efficiently.
- Clean or Replace Filters: Dirty filters can reduce heat efficiency and strain your system.
- Test Your Thermostat: Ensure it’s working properly to maintain comfortable temperatures.
4. Prepare for Power Outages
- Stock Up on Supplies: Keep flashlights, batteries, non-perishable food, and blankets handy.
- Invest in a Generator: Consider a backup generator for essential power needs.
- Charge Devices: Fully charge phones and power banks before a storm hits.
5. Secure Your Roof and Gutters
- Clear Gutters: Remove debris to prevent ice dams and water damage.
- Inspect Your Roof: Check for loose shingles and make necessary repairs.
- Install Heat Cables: Use heat cables to prevent ice buildup on your roof.
6. Maintain Your Walkways and Driveway
- Stock De-Icing Products: Use salt, sand, or eco-friendly alternatives to keep surfaces safe.
- Shovel Snow Early: Clear snow as soon as it falls to prevent icy buildup.
- Repair Cracks: Fill any cracks in your driveway or walkways to avoid ice expansion damage.
7. Protect Outdoor Equipment and Plants
- Cover Plants: Use burlap or frost blankets to protect delicate vegetation.
- Store Equipment: Bring in outdoor furniture and tools or cover them securely.
8. Check Chimneys and Fireplaces
- Clean the Chimney: Have a professional remove creosote buildup to reduce fire risks.
- Test the Flue: Ensure it opens and closes properly for proper ventilation.

We all need that faithful winter coat to help us keep warm when the temperatures drop — and that’s exactly what’s happening in metro Atlanta as winter kicks in.
Top quality winter coats can be difficult to locate. The department stores never have your size and when they do, the color is always off.
Best Winter Coats
With cold weather upon us, now’s the time to check out some wool peacoats, or warm and comfortable winter coats. Here are some of the best ones:
Orolay Women’s Thickened Down Jacket
Here’s what one reviewer says about this Orolay coat: “SO WARM. So stylish! I am so in love with this coat. It seems very well put together and heavy and sturdy. I am usually a size L/XL in everything and the large fits perfectly with the zippers up on the sides. It gets a bit narrow around the hips but it’s adjustable so it’s fine! Absolutely love this coat.”
Women’s Notched Lapel Double Breasted Raglan Winter Coats
Here’s what one reviewer says about the Allegra winter coat: “So I’m 5’1, 135lbs, and 36C. I bought the medium and it fits well. A small MIGHT’VE fit, but I didn’t risk ordering it. As far as length it hit right above my knee. It’s roomy around the waste so it’s not a form-fitting coat–still looks cute though. I’m also still able to wear layers under the coat–which is good because it’s not the warm kind (especially in Chicago winters). Overall, a good purchase.”
MOERDENG Women’s Waterproof Ski Jacket Warm Winter Snow Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about the Moerdeng women’s waterproof ski jacket: “This is a very nice, warm & comfortable ski jacket. I’m in love with the fur lining – it feels amazing. The water repellent material will be great in rain and snow. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is I read and expected it to fit true to size and I’d say the fit is a little big. I think it will be ok with layers underneath but if you are between sizes, I’d recommend to size down.”
Wantdo Women’s Mountain Waterproof Ski Jacket Windproof Rain Jacket
Here’s what one of the reviewers says about this coat: “This coat is a very nice coat so far. I got a large (I wear medium usually) and it fits over a suit jacket perfectly (I wear a 38R jacket). I had hoped the ‘long’ jacket came to mid calf on me, and this comes to just below my knees. I’m 5’9” with a long trunk and short legs.”
Allegra K Women’s Double Breasted Notched Lapel Long Winter Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this Allegra winter coat: “Really beautiful! The jacket fits perfectly, check the description for a good fit! I’m 5’1″, 150 pounds, size 12. I got the medium and it has the fitted size I wanted. Hits just above my knees. I love the soft feel of the material and it has exceeded my expectations.”
That’s all for the women’s winter coats. Now let’s look at some of the best men’s winter coats:
Caterpillar Men’s Heavy Insulated Parka (Regular and Big & Tall Sizes)
APTRO Men’s Winter Single Breased Slim Fit Wool Top Coat Long Trench Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this top coat: “It is a nice, quality dress coat. I ordered the ‘fleece’ style, which has the heavier liner. It’s warm, but still not meant for deep winter cold.”
Men’s Winter Jacket Thick Thermal Cotton Warm Fleece Lined Coat
Here’s what one reviewer says about this coat: “This coat is beautiful, smooth and Groovy I was sceptacle at first because of the price thinking to myself that dope coat for that fair price. It’s tailored and fits very well I’m 5”11 slim build. You don’t need to go up a size unless you’re a muscle head.”
How To Shop for a Winter Coat
When shopping for a quality winter coat, it’s important to consider factors like warmth, durability, style, and functionality. Here’s a breakdown of key features to look for in a winter coat that will keep you both warm and comfortable throughout the season:
1. Insulation and Warmth
- Down Insulation: Look for a coat with high-quality down insulation (feathers from ducks or geese). Down is lightweight, compressible, and extremely warm. The fill power rating (e.g., 600-fill, 800-fill) indicates the warmth-to-weight ratio—the higher the fill power, the warmer and lighter the coat.
- Synthetic Insulation: If you prefer a coat that is more moisture-resistant, synthetic insulation (such as Thinsulate or PrimaLoft) is a good alternative. Synthetic insulates even when wet and tends to be more affordable, though it may not be as warm as down.
- Wool Coats: Wool offers natural warmth and is great for moderate winter conditions. A wool-blend coat is typically more stylish but may not be sufficient for extremely cold temperatures.
2. Windproof and Waterproof Materials
- Waterproof Fabrics: Look for coats made from materials such as Gore-Tex, HyVent, or other waterproof membranes. These materials prevent snow and rain from penetrating the coat, keeping you dry in wet winter weather.
- Windproof Coating: A good winter coat should also have a windproof outer layer or shell to block cold winds and keep you insulated.
- Taped Seams: For extra protection from moisture, ensure the coat has taped or sealed seams to prevent water from seeping in.
3. Durable and High-Quality Outer Material
- Nylon, Polyester, or Wool Blends: The outer shell of your coat should be durable and able to withstand wear and tear from everyday use. Nylon and polyester are common choices for winter coats because they resist abrasions, while wool blends offer a polished, stylish look for formal settings.
- Ripstop Fabric: If you need a coat for outdoor activities or harsh conditions, look for ripstop fabric, which is more resistant to tears and rips.
4. Proper Fit and Length
- Layering Room: Ensure the coat fits comfortably over layers, such as sweaters and hoodies. You should have enough room to move your arms without feeling restricted, but the coat shouldn’t be too loose, as this can let cold air in.
- Length: Longer coats provide more coverage and warmth, especially in very cold climates. Parkas and mid-thigh-length coats are great for keeping your core warm, while shorter jackets are more lightweight and flexible for movement.
5. Hood Design
- Insulated Hood: An insulated, adjustable hood is essential for keeping your head warm in freezing temperatures. Look for a hood that is lined with the same insulation as the coat for maximum warmth.
- Detachable Hood: Some coats come with detachable hoods, giving you the option to remove it for a cleaner, more streamlined look or when the weather is mild.

2 Urban Licks
820 Ralph McGill Blvd NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
2 Urban Licks is a great date night restaurant for a number of reasons: It’s a chi chi spot, the drinks are amazing and it’s a people-watching place.
Here is what one Google reviewer says about 2 Urban Licks: “It was a great casual place to celebrate our anniversary! Food was great! Beware though, the quantities are large! We decided to share 3 apps and an entree…even that was too much food.”

Final Word
Depending on your style, you might appreciate a more relaxed setting, like a fancy restaurant.
But if you’re a night owl, one of the city’s popular clubs could be your thing. In any case, always remember to be safe.
Because the COVID pandemic is still raging, always remember to:
— Wash your hands frequently
— Observe 6-feet from one another
— Wear a mask when indoors in public spaces
