The new year is off to a blistering cold start, as winter weather will soon blast freezing air, extreme cold temperatures and snow through the U.S.
In fact, this January could break records.
“This could end up being the coldest January since 2011 for the U.S. as a whole,” said AccuWeather expert Paul Pastelok.
The “bitterly cold pattern” is expected to hit Wednesday, Jan. 8, to Friday, Jan. 10, and could bring “drastically colder air” or even “substantial snow and ice” for the midwest, south and east.
So, will it snow in Georgia? Here’s what we know.
Will the cold temperatures bring snow to Georgia?
AccuWeather meteorologists said a risk of subfreezing temperatures will be in the forecast for the South from Jan. 8 to Jan. 10. For Georgia and surrounding states, the risk is high and could be “dangerous, damaging and disruptive.”
Temperatures at times could even feel like 10 to 20 degrees colder than what they are and, although AccuWeather meteorologists haven’t said it will snow in Georgia, they are expecting snow and ice to cover several southern states.
