An area of strong winds, with gusts estimated between 40 and 50 mph, accompanied the leading edge of an area of showers as they moved across north and a large portion of central Georgia during the late evening hours of the 25th and the early morning hours of the 26th, generally between 10 pm EST on the 25th and 2 am EST on the 26th.  A number of trees and power lines were blown down across the region.  In addition, a large pine tree was blown onto a home in Roswell in North Fulton county causing substantial damage to the roof and a small carport was blown over west of Gray in Jones county near the Bibb county line.  An estimated 61,000 residents, mainly in north Georgia, lost power during the event.  Much of the night was required to restore power to these homes, complicated considerably by the snow and sleet which was falling in the area at the time.  Some residents across north Georgia did not have their power restored until the afternoon of the 26th.  The precipitation with these showers fell mainly as snow north of Interstate 20, sleet to about 50 miles south of Interstate 20, and rain elsewhere.
