January 25, 2026 — A significant winter weather event continues to impact much of Georgia as a major ice storm brings dangerous travel conditions, widespread power outage potential, and severe cold into the region. Freezing rain and sleet are ongoing across northeast Georgia and portions of the Atlanta metro area, with the most severe impacts expected through Monday morning. Emergency officials warn that travel may be hazardous or impossible in many areas due to ice-covered roadways, falling trees, and downed power lines. Gusty winds of 20 to 35 mph are compounding the damage, while extremely cold temperatures forecast for Monday and Tuesday pose additional risks, particularly for residents without power and for cleanup crews. Officials urge residents to restrict travel to emergencies only, prepare for extended power outages, and monitor official updates as conditions evolve.
