| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An unseasonably cold Canadian air mass invaded the southeastern United States behind a strong cold front which moved through the state early on the 25th. The heart of the cold air mass reached north and central Georgia on the 27th. By the morning of the 27th, morning low temperatures had dropped into the 30s across most of north and central Georgia. Highs struggled to rise to 50 in the north and to 60 in the central. Some stations in Northeast Georgia remained in the 40s all day with strong gusty winds. These temperatures were some 20 degrees below normal for the date. By the morning of the 28th, a hard freeze was observed across nearly all of north and central Georgia with lows dropping well into the 20s. Blairsville in Northeast Georgia recorded 21 degrees on the 28th and Peachtree City recorded a low of 23. Similar readings were observed on the 29th. While afternoon temperatures rose back into the 60s, morning lows continued to drop below freezing at many locations through the 31st. Only the Columbus area escaped the unusually early harsh cold reporting its coldest temperature of 34 degrees on the 29th. Macon set a record low temperature for two consecutive days with a low temperature of 27 on both the 28th and 29th. These readings broke record lows of 28 each day set in 1957 and 1976, respectively. |
