An unusual winter storm swept through the Deep South on Tuesday, bringing significant and even once-in-a-lifetime snowfall to unexpected areas.

The Atlanta airport is facing hundreds of delays and cancellations, as well as lengthy security wait times, as a winter storm hits the South.

It was a tricky forecast, but the snow came through about as expected. Now we have to deal with icy conditions Wednesday,” Severe Weather Team 2 Chief Meteorologist Brad Nitz said. The winter storm brought up to about 2 inches of snow over parts of north Georgia and areas south of Interstate 20.
