Hall County residents awoke Saturday to an overnight snowfall that was quite a bit less than the 3 to 4 inches predicted the day before. While areas to the north received an ample snowfall and metro Atlanta was more affected by ice, Gainesville and Hall received just a bit of each, in most areas a layer of icy slush covered by a dusting of snow. Roads were mostly clear by late morning Saturday and officials reported no road closings or problems, though some secondary roads still had icy patches.
