It's a rare day when snow is on the ground in Atlanta, Georgia. The city's annual average snowfall is less than three inches, but we have it on good authority that an 800-ton dump of the cold white stuff will descend on Hotlanta from December 20th-22nd. Specifically, the snow will be located on a 15-story ramp placed inside SunTrust Park, home of the Braves. Some of the world's best skiers and snowboarders will be descending on the city and throwing down their finest tricks.
