Snowfall
This glaze of ice fell on top of the earlier accumulated snowfall, leading to icy roadways and travel complications. Additionally, scattered power outages occurred due to the weight of the ice on trees and power lines. At the peak, over 100,000 customers were without power across north Georgia during the night of January 10th.
