The second Arctic cold front to affect Georgia within a one week period surged through north and central Georgia during the morning and early afternoon of the 3rd.  Temperatures were just beginning to moderate from the extreme cold observed during the last couple of days of February. For example, Macon still set a new record low temperature of 20 degrees Fahrenheit on March 1st.  Temperatures during the first 5 days of March averaged around 15 degrees below normal, but the height of the cold outbreak occurred on the 4th and 5th when temperatures averaged about 20 degrees below normal across most of north and central Georgia.  While this Arctic blast was slightly less intense than the one which affected the same area the last couple of days of February, it was certainly significant.  High temperatures on the 4th struggled to rise above the freezing mark across north Georgia and struggled to rise into the 40s across central Georgia, after widespread morning lows of 20 to 25 and teens in the north mountains.  The coldest readings were observed during the morning of the 5th when lows of 15 to 20 were common in the north and 20 to 25 in the central.  Blairsville in the northeast Georgia mountains recorded a low of 12 degrees on the morning of the 5th for the lowest reading.
