If General Beauregard Lee predicts six more weeks of winter, Georgians may be in for a chilly surprise! While the South isn’t known for harsh winters, temperatures can dip unexpectedly, bringing cold mornings and brisk evenings.
Instead of dreading the extended cold, why not embrace it? Here’s how to stay warm and make the most of a longer winter in Georgia.
– Layer Up: Southern winters are unpredictable—sweaters, blankets, and warm socks are your best friends.– Hot Drinks on Repeat: Sip on spiced apple cider, hot cocoa, or a classic sweet tea—steaming hot!
Upgrade Your Heating: If your home feels drafty, use space heaters, heated blankets, or weatherproofing tricks to keep warm.
Hike Without the Heat: Georgia’s trails are stunning in winter! Try Amicalola Falls, Providence Canyon, or Arabia Mountain for crisp, scenic hikes.
– Cozy Bonfires & S’mores: Gather friends around a fire pit for roasted marshmallows and warm conversations.– Visit a Winter Festival: Check out local events like Savannah’s Irish Festival or Atlanta’s Winter Beer Fest to add some fun to the season.
Winter-Themed Movie Nights: Curl up with classics like Groundhog Day or Remember the Titans (filmed in Georgia!).
Try a New Comfort Food Recipe: Experiment with Southern chili, homemade biscuits, or a warm peach cobbler.– Plan for Spring: If you’re longing for warmth, start planning your spring garden or summer vacation now.
