Wintry December 23-26 2022 Winter Weather and Cold

Had to drive from Jasper, GA to Dahlonega and back this evening. Left around 10:30 and returned about 20 minutes ago. On return trip west of Dawsonville started noticing fine snow …at first thought just dust because there are several marble quarries on the route. It picked up. Temp on car ranged from 4 to 2.

Here is a pic … totally surprised. First time in my life to see snow at that temp. And not really forecasted.

Gonna sound like an old man now…to experience the 80’s and early 90’s in the Upstate of SC this extreme happened almost every year, to the point where it was expected. Along with the anticipated frigid temps there was a validated snowfall threat and occurrence. It is very frustrating as a snow lover to appreciate these cold temps nowadays, because we just can’t seem to couple them with moisture…sigh…rant over.

I prefer the Southern Appalachian's as well. Parts get over 120' Rain a year... then there's the snow and the cold... It's like being in another world
 
My Weather Channel says 7. I tried to do the bubbles too but couldn't get a big one started. It's COLD! AMAZE BALLS!
