9 days in Georgia in January?

I have and unexpected 9 days off of work coming up in the middle of Jan! I'd like to spend it starting off the AT in Georgia. Does anyone have any advice about the Georgia mountains this time of year? I know it's cold but it's still manageable, right? I'm also wondering if there is a shuttle that can take me back to my jeep at the end of the week. Thanks for any help.
