Winter weather can happen anywhere in Georgia. It’s important to be prepared for winter storms which often bring dangerously low temperatures, strong winds, icing, sleet and freezing rain.
One of the primary concerns is the winter weather's ability to knock out heat, power and communications services to your home or office, sometimes for days at a time. Heavy snowfall, ice and extreme cold can immobilize an entire region, so it’s important to be prepared for winter weather before it strikes.
