A bitter Arctic air mass covered much of the eastern half of the nation on the 1st of February. However, because the upper-level trough was positively tilted into the southwest and south central U.S., the bulk of the cold air was spilling southward into the southern plains and eastward into the northeast U.S. A stationary front separating the cold Arctic air from warm, moist air, was located across south Georgia. Considerable lift was supplied over the shallow layer of cold air as a weak upper disturbance passed over the area early in the morning of the 1st. Temperatures were cold enough north of a Rome, to Canton, to Gainesville line for much of the precipitation to fall as snow. Some freezing rain and sleet was noted on the southern end of the frozen precipitation area, just grazing the northern suburbs of Atlanta. Snowfall amounts north of a Rome to Gainesville line were mostly around 2.0 inches, but some counties in the northeast Georgia mountains reported 5.0 - 6.0 inch snowfall amounts.
