Looking Back: Recent Cold Snaps

coldest afternoon since January 2024, making us appreciate this weekend’s warmth even more! And who can forget the Cold Weather Advisory? It dropped wind chills as low as the mid-teens, reminding us how swiftly the weather can turn.

Winter Weather Awareness

The National Weather Service streamlined winter weather alerts, keeping residents informed about potential icy conditions, particularly in downtown Jacksonville and parts of Southeast Georgia. With winter storms causing concerns for precipitation like snow, sleet, and freezing rain, residents were urged to prepare for potentially hazardous driving conditions. It’s incredible to think that Jacksonville recorded its coldest temperature in history at a bone-chilling 7°F back on January 21, 1985!

Be Prepared and Stay Informed

While we can look forward to sunny skies and warmer temperatures, it’s always good to stay alert. Hazardous conditions from icy weather can still affect travel and utilities and lead to potential power outages. Warming centers were established for those needing protection from the cold, ensuring everyone has a safe place to seek refuge.

A Bright Path Ahead

As we head into this lovingly mild weekend, let’s relish in the joys of pleasant weather while also recalling the lessons learned from the recent cold snaps. So grab your family and friends, soak in the sunshine, and enjoy everything that Jacksonville has to offer. Remember to keep an eye on the forecast as it shifts, but for now, it looks like a lovely break from the winter chill is just what we need!

Happy adventuring, Jacksonville! May your weekend be sunny, warm, and full of laughter!
