| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An unseasonably strong late season Arctic cold front raced through north and central Georgia during the mid-day and afternoon hours of the 26th on the heels of 20 to 30 mph northwest winds. Some of the coldest temperatures of the winter season resulted during the ensuing two days. Temperatures during the morning of the 27th were in the teens across much of north Georgia and in the lower and middle 20s across the central sections. Continuing strong winds drove wind chills down to near zero and below. Temperatures struggled to rise to the freezing mark in the north and to near 40 in the central by afternoon, despite abundant sunshine. By the morning of the 28th, the arctic high was centered very near north Georgia resulting in one of the coldest mornings of the winter season. Single-digit temperatures were reported in the northeast mountains, with teens just about everywhere else across north and central Georgia. Blue Ridge dropped to 6 degrees above zero and Blairsville to 8 degrees. Columbus, Hawkinsville, and Dublin in central Georgia were the only locations not to drop below 20 degrees during the morning of the 28th with 20, 21, and 22 degrees, respectively. On the 28th, Macon set a new record low minimum with 19 degrees and Columbus tied their record low minimum with 22 degrees. Minimum and maximum temperatures averaged some 20 to 30 degrees below normal across all of north and central Georgia during this 2-3 day period. |
