ATLANTA — Snow is falling cross metro Atlanta and north Georgia Friday morning, with accumulations on the roads virtually everywhere and deteriorated conditions across all major and local roadways.
As of 8:30 a.m., even interstates are becoming increasingly impassable throughout the region, including I-75, I-85, I-285 and I-20. MARTA has suspended bus service due to “hazardous road conditions.” Officials say people should expect delays on Red and Gold lines traveling to the airport.
