Why It’s Tough To Tell If It’s Going To Snow In Atlanta

Some in the metro area actually saw snow at their homes this week; others got not much more than cold rain and a bit of ice. Why’s it so tough for forecasters to figure out which way a snow day is going to go in Atlanta? 

“It’s incredibly hard,” said meteorologist with the National Weather Service Brian Lynn. He says we should blame the location. “We’re always on the edge of a temperature structure that allows for snow versus rain or snow versus sleet versus freezing rain.”
