To the south, an icy mix could bring a glaze of ice to eastern Kentucky, Tennessee and northern Georgia this morning.

In Atlanta, which typically avoids much freezing weather, the National Weather Service said residents had begun to report “slick spots” in areas where light freezing rain began to fall early today. Total ice accumulations of less than one-tenth of an inch are predicted.

Parts of Interstate 75 were shut down in northern Georgia because of crashes and icy roads, which apparently contributed to a major pileup the Varnell Police Department tweeted about this morning.

The storm is not forecast to be a major one, but it could cause hazardous and difficult travel conditions in parts of the Midwest and East, the National Weather Service said.
