Snow Mountain will be closed Saturday. Because...of...snow.

And yes — the folks at Stone Mountain Park, which creates the winter wonderland full of fake white stuff each year, realize how ridiculous that sounds. They admitted as much when posting the news on Facebook on Friday afternoon.

UPDATE: Stone Mountain 1, Snow 0. (Snow Mountain is back)

The storm moving into metro Atlanta is expected to dump as much as five inches of snow onto parts of the region Friday night and into Saturday.
