Right now it is a balmy 22 in Midtown Atlanta. What ice is on the roads is still frozen solid. However, today will really begin the thaw for “Hothlanta” with temps reaching the upper 30’s to near 40 under sunny skies. However, there will still be some refreezing tonight with in the low to mid 20’s. Saturday and Sunday continue the thaw with highs in the mid to upper 40’s. Again some refreezing possible Saturday night, but it won’t likely be that much on the roads by then. Still enough of a chance that you should remain cautious through the weekend and especially overnight and until mid morning. Still looks like much needed rain (still in drought, remember?) moves in for Monday. Nothing frozen expected save for far north that may begin as a brief period of freezing rain and sleet before changing to all rain.

This morning, my brother sent me this. Think it about sums it up for most Atlanta folks...
