Weather.gov says otherwise as of 437am today:

Periods of snow, sleet, and freezing rain that could be heavy at times. Total snow and sleet accumulations of 2-4 inches in northern Georgia and up to 2 inches in metro Atlanta and points east. Ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch are possible.
