“We are seeing signals that impactful wintry weather may occur across parts of North and Central GA this coming weekend,” the Peachtree City Office advisory which was issued Monday afternoon says. “Details regarding who gets what, when, and the extent of any impacts, should become clearer in the coming days.”
