This whole thread is about it.......There is a chance of snow in North Ga this weekend. I am surprised nobody is posting about it. The 00z Nam doesn't look too bad.

I wouldn't consider this upcoming event major (although any time the south gets even a dusting is notable). Unusually warm ground and rather marginal surface temps will likely preclude major accumulations (if any) outside higher elevations.A major southern snowstorm during March in a La Nina year would be quite unusual. Most late season (March/ early April) snow events here in metro Atlanta have historically occurred during El Nino's (April 3, 1987; March 24, 1983; March 2-3, 1980, etc) or neutral winters (March 13, 1993; March 1960.; etc).
Typically La Nina winters feature significant March/ April tornadoes in Georgia (March 24, 1975; April 3, 1974; March 28, 1984; March 5 and April 4, 1989; April 27, 2011, etc).
Yeah I am not looking forward to the cold blast next week. But like you said, it looks fairly transient and a more zonal flow with moderating temps looks probable from next weekend onward.I wouldn't consider this upcoming event major (although any time the south gets even a dusting is notable). Unusually warm ground and rather marginal surface temps will likely preclude major accumulations (if any) outside higher elevations.
Now the arctic blast will be unusual but should be short lived (4/5 days).
