New Map Shows What Georgia Weather Will Be Like This Winter
Winter is coming, and a hot topic right now is what it’s going to be like in Georgia. Of course, snow birds come down south every season to get away form the snow and cold. So, no matter what, we’ll have it better than much of the U.S. But, things are changing, and now, a new map is out that shows what Georgia weather will be like this winter.
This map, released by Climate.gov, highlights the U.S. map and weather trends for January through March of 2024. Our area usually gets the most snow and ice during those months, as does the rest of the U.S. Most El Niño winters bring drier and warmer weather to the upper parts of the U.S. and wetter and cooler weather to the southern parts, such as Florida. That’s the forecast for this winter. Specifically, Climate.gov says in a typical El Niño winter, “there is a reduction in snowfall (brown shading), especially around the Great Lakes, interior New England, the northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest, extending through far western Canada, and over most of Alaska. In fact, El Niño appears to be the great snowfall suppressor over most of North America.”
Looking at this map, which you can see here, during an El Niño winter, the Midwest and Northeast get several inches less of snow. Meanwhile, out west, they get several more inches of snow, as well as in the middle of the country. Moreover, “As a result, it is not surprising to see a stripe of increased snowfall (blue shading) over the southern half of the country. Obviously, snowfall is limited in its southernmost reaches because it needs to be cold enough to snow, so the effects are strongest in the higher and colder elevations of the West.”

So, according to this new map, Georgia is a very light blue, indicating that we could get more snow than usual this season. It’s not dark blue, though, so we’re only looking at a few extra inches of the white stuff, if that. Temperature-wise, it’s also looking to be a cooler winter. Find more information here.
