How do I find out the closest place to go to find snow that is not a ski resort?
My family recently moved to NE Gerogia and my kids are sad that there isn’t snow here and it doesn’t feel like Christmas. Since we are close to the mountains I figure there has to be snow at the peaks but I want to make sure before we head out. All the snow finders that I have found on-line are for ski resorts and I that’s not what I want because that might be man made and I prefer to find a park or something.
Check out the NWS snow cover maps from time to time to see where the closest snow is:

I clicked on the “snow depth” map, and it looks like far northern Georgia near the TN border has some snow. You can get an idea of the depth and location of snow before you take off for an extended period. Of course, you’ll need other map resources to plan the ability to arrive/stay at a location, but this should give you a general idea of where to go. If you’re going to a state park or staying at a hotel, I recommend you call ahead to ask about the snow amounts, I’m sure they’d be happy to help.
