North Georgia Schools Adjust Schedules Amid Winter Weather Advisory

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga. — Several school districts in north Georgia are changing their end-of-day schedules on Monday due to a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 7 a.m. Tuesday. The advisory affects Murray, Fannin, Gilmer, Dawson, Towns, Union, Lumpkin, and White counties.

Snow showers and flurries are moving into the region from Tennessee as Arctic air settles in. Light snow accumulations are possible, especially on grassy and elevated surfaces. Flurries have already begun, and conditions may worsen as the afternoon progresses.

The changes in school operations include early dismissals and potential transitions to online learning on Tuesday if conditions do not improve. School officials are monitoring the weather closely and will communicate updates as needed.

Residents are urged to stay informed about the weather and prepare for potentially hazardous conditions on the roads.

The National Weather Service has indicated that accumulation could vary, with some areas experiencing light dustings, while elevated regions may see more significant snow. The situation continues to develop, and updates will be provided throughout the day.
