When Will Georgia Get Snow This Season?
Winter is coming, and it’s not uncommon for us to get a little snow in Georgia. Not much, but hey, some. Maybe you’re someone who dreads the snow or is excited about seeing the white stuff. Either way, you’re probably wondering, when will Georgia get snow this season? Well, here are the stats and probabilities on when to expect that winter weather to arrive.
Before we get to snow in our area, let’s look at one American city that’s never gotten snow. The Farmer’s Almanac has a story about the places in America that have never gotten cold enough to get any snow. “As the summer sun fades and chillier nights and mornings begin to creep onto the calendar, your thoughts might turn to that four-letter word which some of us love, and others love to hate: snow,” they state. “You may wonder: What are some cities, states, or countries where it has never snowed?”
Believe it or not, it’s never, ever snowed in Key West, Florida. “Not only has Key West never experienced snow, it’s never seen frost, ice, or sleet either,” the article states. “That’s because Florida’s low latitude and low elevation hinder temperatures from getting cold enough for snow to fall, let alone accumulate on the ground.” Lucky Key West.

Now, onto our state. According to Weather.com, the average first snowfall of the year arrives from Jan. 21 – Feb. 8 in Atlanta. But, they note, “For more southern locations, such as Atlanta and Dallas, instead of mentioning an average first date of measurable snow, we specify an average timeframe during which you can expect the ‘best chance’ of measurable snow each year, defined by the average first and last dates of measurable snow. This is typically in January and February from the Carolinas to north Texas.” Find the full story on the average first snowfall dates here.
