Paulding County Schools Make Feb. 21 Weather Decision

PAULDING COUNTY, GA—Due to expected icing that may occur overnight and result in hazardous road conditions, Paulding County School District officials say they canceling all school-related activities prior to noon on Friday, Feb. 21, 2020.

All activities scheduled in the afternoon will occur as planned, they said.

All PCSD annual staff should report at 10 a.m.

According to the National Weather Service, a winter weather advisory remains in effect through 1 a.m. Friday for the mountains of northeast and north central Georgia.

Snow accumulations up to two inches are possible with isolated higher amounts possible over 2,000 feet.

Overnight, wintry precipitation will move out of the area as temperatures fall at or below freezing, and patchy black ice is possible, especially over bridges and overpasses, the National Weather Service said.

Wind chills will also dip into the single digits across the higher elevations of north Georgia on Friday morning. Those outside should take precautions from the cold.

There are a few weather model solutions that suggest some light snow is possible overnight in the Atlanta metro due to cold air rushing over the warmer Lake Lanier. There is a low chance of
this occurring and any accumulations, if at all, would be very light.
