State officials held a press briefing Friday morning at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) State Operations Center to update the public on their response to the winter storm impacting Georgia.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and a group of state officials gave the first update of the day on winter storm conditions in the state.

Winter Storm brings snow, sleet, freezing rain to metro Atlanta As the day goes on metro Atlanta will see a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, reducing total snowfall but increasing icy conditions.

The snow may be over in north Georgia, but dropping temperatures in the next few hours will lead to dangerous conditions on metro Atlanta's roads and potential power outages.

Snow and ice is expected in north Georgia and metro Atlanta by Friday morning with a quick change over to rain and freezing rain for much of the day. Many schools and government offices have already closed ahead of the storm.
