Forecasters had hyped an oncoming snowstorm since mid-week, and while Georgia did get some snow, it wasn't nearly as much as predicted. In fact, some areas of North Georgia got barely a dusting.
Still, the first snow of 2017 made for some great photo opportunities.
Enjoy some of the views from around the region!
