Campus Prepares for Another Winter Weather Threat 

Another significant winter storm is expected to impact metro Atlanta and the surrounding region beginning Saturday and continuing through the weekend, with snow accumulations possible. While forecast models continue to vary on potential snowfall totals for Atlanta, the National Weather Service warns that hazardous winter conditions are increasingly likely, including a combination of snow, extremely cold temperatures, and dangerous wind chills extending into early next week. 

Campus Operations Update 
Georgia Tech will operate under modified operations on Saturday, Jan. 31. Additional updates regarding campus operations for Sunday and the coming week will be shared as conditions evolve. 

The Georgia Tech Office of Emergency Management continues to meet regularly with campus leaders and will provide updates on campus operations through the Georgia Tech Emergency Notification System (GTENS) as conditions warrant. 

Safety Guidance 
Community members are strongly encouraged to limit travel during the storm. 

If emergency travel is unavoidable: 

  • Drive at reduced speeds and increase following distance. 
  • Be alert for black ice, especially on bridges, overpasses, and shaded areas, 
  • Do not pour warm water on frozen windshields, as it may cause cracking. 

Weather conditions may change rapidly, so continue to monitor updates from the Office of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service.
