ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A winter storm aimed its chilly sights at north Georgia, poised to deliver an icy sheen Thursday to areas north of Atlanta as cold air from the west collided with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.

 

By 9 p.m., temperatures across the metro Atlanta area had dropped below freezing and were still falling. Light rain -- most of it not reaching the ground -- was observed on radar moving eastward into far western Georgia.

 

Delta Air Lines planned to cancel about 200 flights late Wednesday and early Thursday as freezing rain and sleet were forecast for Georgia, including parts of the Atlanta area, a Delta spokeswoman said.

The airline, whose main hub is at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, was trying to ease delays for travelers, said spokeswoman Betsy Talton. By canceling the flights late Wednesday, she said, Delta reduces the number of Atlanta flights that will require deicing.

 

Delta was contacting customers on the canceled flights, Talton said, and they were being rebooked.

But the winter weather isn't confined to the Southeast. The National Weather Service issued snow advisories for the panhandle of Texas and most of Oklahoma, except the far southeast corner of the state, with accumulations of up to 3 inches expected overnight in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

Dear List Members,

A difficult time for the 4th and 10th houses significations is coming as transit Venus approaches MEP4, and Ve/Sa/

Ra/Ve/Ve is about to begin today at 16:50 GMT.

With Venus active in so many levels, all care is needed.

Best wishes,

Jorge

• Road travel may be hazardous in parts of North Carolina

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- More than 500 flights at the Atlanta and Charlotte airports were canceled as wintry weather brought rain, sleet and freezing rain across North Georgia and into the Carolinas on Thursday.

 

Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport canceled 450 incoming and outgoing flights, according to Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen.

Those flights included 200 Delta Air Lines cancellations and 50 at AirTran Airways.

" The rest of the cancellations are scattered amongst other airlines, " Bergen said.

A few planes in Atlanta were de-iced Thursday as a precaution, but most didn't need it as temperatures stayed above freezing.

At Charlotte Douglas International Airport, 75 flights were canceled.
