No, ATL’s low was right at 25. Looking at the hourlies, it was down to 26 at 4 AM (EDT), but it dropped only 1 the next 4 hours. Even way down at Macon the low was 22, which is a new record low!
At 25, that was still ATL’s coldest of the season barely beating the 3 26s of January. That makes this the third latest coldest on record there (back to 1879) and the latest when there was no snowcover.
SAV’s low was 28, coldest since Jan 30th and very well forecasted by the GFS. The Euro was a little too warm (near 30). The high there is forecasted to be only in the middle 50s, ~15 BN, with extremely low dewpoints. Though not as cold, it is still expected to be another well BN one there tonight (middle 30s), which should result in frost.
It got down to freezing all of the way to the coast with St. Simons Island and Ft. Pulaski down to 32!
Same here on north side ATL.KPDK, which is only 9 miles north of KATL, is roughly the same elevation and wind speed, reached 21F this morning.
The gfs had also been showing hints of this past snow storm 2 weeks out If I remember correctly. It lost it then started showing it again last Sunday night and basically never stopped showing 5-6 inch totals. It absolutely destroyed the euro as far as accumulation goes. The gfs was consistently showing 5-6 inches while the euro was showing around 2. The euro finally tried to play catch up as the storm was happening by showing 3.5 inches. I’m not sure why but the last 3 major winter storms here since last season the euro has been showing much less snow while the gfs was correctly showing big totals. The gfs seems much improved over the last two winters.This GFS run for this morning was impressively accurate for the very cold temperatures considering it was nearly one week out at the time:

Yeah it’s murdering my sinuses right nowRHs in much of GA, SC, NC, AL, and MS are only in the 15-25% range. ?
That wind yesterday was so nasty. Sheesh.
Bottomed at 25 this morning.
I experienced this amazing storm in ATL for my only blizzard and thundersnow. This by a wide margin had the lowest Gulf pressure of any storm on record to give ATL a big winter storm. Also, this even gave SAV its latest measurable snow on record. In addition, the cold and high winds associated with it in the SE were amazing as was the severe wx in Florida. A true Storm of the Century!
