Hoping we see the southern trend continue today… I was trying to remember last night, but we had a similar set-up in 2012,13 or 14 that we were on the line of and ended up getting a good snow.

yeah, a couple of memorable ones that turned out well...
1/29/2010 was a bit of a surprise - we were supposed to get a brief wintry mix and flip to rain, but ended up with 5 inches of snow before it finally changed over towards the end lol.

2/12-2/13/2014 was quite an overperformer as well - flipped to snow much faster than expected and ended up with 8 inches instead of 1 to 3

I remember it being very much a surprise.

...LIGHT WINTER PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY
NIGHT OVER FAR NORTH GEORGIA...

A storm system will move across the Mid-South and Tennessee
valley bringing rain and winter precipitation to parts of far
north Georgia on Thursday and Thursday night.

As the precipitation begins Thursday morning over northwest
Georgia, it may fall as a mixture of rain, freezing rain, sleet
and/or snow, spreading east, before changing to mostly rain by
midday. As colder air moves back in later Thursday afternoon and
evening, the rain may change to snow with some light accumulations
possible in higher elevations.

It is too soon to determine exact amounts and locations but if all
the ingredients come together there could be up to an inch of
snow at elevations above 1500 feet by early Friday morning.
Temperatures are expected to be cold on Friday with readings
staying in the 30s all day in north Georgia and 40s elsewhere.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, or a favorite local media
outlet, for further statements or updates from the National
Weather Service.

A SWS was issued for the N Georgia mountains
 
Also to note is the wind gusts after this event. The mountains and costal areas of the Carolinas could see down trees and power lines. Hopefully, five days has been enough to dry up some of the water on the ground.
