For the third time in the last year, Stone Mountain Park’s “Snow Mountain” attraction has closed after it snowed in Georgia.

The park’s website said this morning that all the park’s attractions are closed due to the weather slowing down most of metro Atlanta.

The closure is just one in DeKalb County as the area woke up to a blanket of snow.

Keep up with our running coverage of the weather here and watch Channel 2's broadcast here.
