Gov. Brian Kemp and the Atlanta Winter weather advisory map.

Before federal courts could recover from the government shutdown, another one came Monday—at least for superior and appellate courts.

Courts began tweeting plans to close Tuesday because of the forecast winter storm.

Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday that state offices would be closed Tuesday in parts of North Georgia, tweeting a map of the state that showed the north and western parts in blue with an expected 1 to 2 inches of snow and icy roads.

The Georgia Court of Appeals quickly retweeted the governor's announcement, saying, “Per Governor Kemp's directive, the Clerk's Office of the Court of Appeals of Georgia will be closed.”

Cobb County Superior Court tweeted plans to close Tuesday.  Judge Rob Leonard tweeted a copy of an order he signed moving his Tuesday calendar call to Friday.

Cobb County's government offices and courts will close Tuesday, “due to the potential for wintry weather causing hazardous driving conditions,” County Manager Rob Hosack said.  The shutdown of government operations will start at 6 a.m. Tuesday with the reopening time depending on how quickly conditions improve.

“With a great deal of uncertainty about the timing and amount of snow, we thought this proactive action would be best to ensure the safety of Cobb County workers,”  Hosack said.

Also the Georgia Supreme Court tweeted plans to close, with a photo of ice and a link to an order on the court website.

“Consistent with the Governor's directive, the Supreme Court of Georgia will be closed on Tuesday,” the high court said.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for a dozen northern and western Georgia counties and winter weather advisory for all of Atlanta for Tuesday, saying that hazardous driving conditions would remain through Wednesday.

In counseling employees to stay home, the new governor appears to be taking measures to avoid the weather disaster his predecessor, Gov. Nathan Deal, faced early in his first term. Commuters were stranded for hours and even overnight on Atlanta roads and highways as temperatures dropped quickly with rain freezing and then turning rapidly into snow. At least one judge posted on social media about spending the night in the courthouse.

The Judicial Council of Georgia and Administrative Office of the Courts tweeted closing plans for Tuesday as well. @GACourts the group would post any notices received of courthouse closures on its website. The list grew quickly to include most circuits in north Georgia and metro Atlanta.
