The Atlanta forecast for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day suggests that while sub-freezing temperatures are expected in north Georgia, dry conditions are likely to persist, reducing the chances of a "white Christmas." The last significant snowfall on Christmas in Georgia was in 2010, with 1-3 inches in metro Atlanta and up to 8 inches in the north Georgia mountains. This was the first measurable Christmas Day snowfall in the area since 1881, causing hazardous conditions. Many Georgians are hoping for snow this year, but it remains uncertain.
