Snow Time #3: Snow Possible Wednesday Morning In North Georgia

A quick-moving weather system will bring some light rain mixed with snow on Wednesday morning.

"With surface and ground temperatures above freezing, no snow accumulation is expected in the Metro Atlanta area," according to WSB-TV Severe Weather Team 2 meteorologist David Chandley. "The higher elevations of the north Georgia mountains could see light accumulations to a dusting."

Only Rabun County in extreme northeast Georgia is under a Winter Weather Advisory.

Delta has already announced that there could be departure and arrival delays at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

"We will have significant weather delays throughout the day Wednesday due to wintry precipitation in the morning," a company representative said. Customers should check their scheduled flight times prior to departing for the airport.

The big weather story will be the cold temperatures rolling in Wednesday night, with lows on Thursday morning in the low to mid-20s.

Police: Thieves Make Off With 10 Tons Of Loot

LaGrange police are trying to figure out how thieves managed to steal two rooftop air conditioning units each weighing five tons.

Police say it happened at a building along East Depot Street.

A man working at the vacant building tells police he knew the heat had been working but it would not turn on. After searching for the problem, he realized two Carrier air conditioning units valued at $3,600 were missing from the top of the building.

It's unclear how long the units have been missing.

Pro-Life Billboards Stir Controversy

Pro-life billboards in black neighborhoods across Atlanta are hitting nerves on both sides of the issue of abortion.

The message is simple: that black children are an "endangered species" because of "too many abortions" in the black community. The billboards were put up by pro-life African Americans.

Of the 35,000 women in Georgia who received abortions in 2008, nearly 21,000 were black women - more than twice the number of white women. It has become a heated debate among many African Americans.

"My people are dying and nobody cares that my people are dying," said Catherine Davis, director of minority outreach for Georgia Right to Life. "And I want people to look at this and ask, 'Is there any truth to what we are saying?'"

"To a black woman when you talk about not being able to control the timing and the spacing of our children guess what that harkens back to? Slavery," said Loretta Ross, executive director of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective in Atlanta. "Why should we be discriminated against and have you suggest that it's for the good of the race."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says black women are three times more likely to get an abortion than white women.
