Unusually quiet streets, icy conditions, and power outages define a challenging morning for Atlanta and DeKalb County residents, prompting many to heed warnings and stay indoors.

Metro Atlanta woke up Monday to frigid temperatures, lingering power outages, closed schools and warnings from officials about ice on secondary roads.

Atlantans are in for a soggy stretch of weather mixed with another wave of arctic air. CBS News Atlanta meteorologist Dagmar Midcap says that will likely mean the Atlanta metro area and rural parts up north could see more snowflakes this weekend.

Atlanta's weather forecast predicts a rainy, chilly week with 100% precipitation and highs near 42°F, transitioning to sunny, cooler days ahead.

The City of Atlanta announced it was suspending collection of solid waste, yard debris, recycling and bulk collections due to hazards from the weekend’s winter weather.

North Georgia and Atlanta face a freezing start to the week with Monday lows in the 20s and a slight chance of snow showers by Thursday.
