Good thing they finally built the Brain Train, amirite?

The latest forecast from the National Weather Service predicts a mix of rain and sleet tonight and 1–3 inches of snow Saturday morning in Athens.

The UGA campus will close at 3:30 p.m., meaning all classes and other activities are canceled, and faculty and staff can go home early. Campus Transit shuts down at 4:30 p.m. The men's basketball game Saturday and the women's basketball game Sunday are still going on as planned, for the moment. Check here for updates.

Clarke County schools will not let out early, but all after-school activities and programs have been canceled.

The Chess and Community conference scheduled for Saturday has been postponed.

Athens-Clarke County Library branches will all open at noon on Saturday.

ACC Transportation and Public Works equipment is fueled up, and staff is on call, Streets and Drainage Superintendent Kevin Gentry said. Crews will start laying sand on roadways once the snow starts, focusing on hills and bridges, as well as dealing with any fallen limbs or traffic signals that aren't working, he said.

GDOT has been brining metro Atlanta interstates and highways in the North Georgia mountains since yesterday. (According to Gentry, ACC has never used salt because it's corrosive to vehicles and pavement.)

GDOT has also created a YouTube channel to provide updates for Northeast Georgia.
