While snowfall is not uncommon in the state of Georgia, the winter of 2025 brought unprecedented snowfall to the region. Beginning on January 17th, a series of winter storms dumped several inches of snow across the state, causing widespread power outages, travel disruptions, and school closures.
The heavy snowfall had a significant impact on the state’s infrastructure. Many roads became impassable, and several major highways were closed. Power lines were downed, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without electricity. Schools were closed for several days, and many businesses were forced to close or operate with reduced staff.
