The National Weather Service has placed much of North and Middle Georgia, including the Hall County area, under a winter weather advisory until noon Thursday.

Up to an inch of snow could fall overnight in Hall with temperatures dropping to the freezing mark. A chance of flurries remains in the forecast until 1 p.m. Thursday, when the mercury is expected to rise to 43.

Areas farther north, including parts of Dawson, Lumpkin and White counties, are expected to get 1-2 inches of snow, according to the Weather Service in Peachtree City.

A weather advisory means that periods of snow, sleet or freezing rain can cause travel problems.

"Be prepared for slippery roads and limited visibilities and use caution while driving," the advisory states.

Get through this storm and brighter days lie ahead.

The forecast calls for sunny skies through Tuesday and temperatures reaching 60.
