Weather in January

January is one of the coldest months in Georgia, with temperatures varying significantly from the northern regions to the south. In the northern hilly regions, including places near Brasstown Bald, temperatures are colder with occasional snowfall. It's in these areas where one can find up to 5" (127mm) of snow, making it a unique sight in the state. In contrast, southern Georgia experiences milder conditions. While daytime temperatures in the south remain comfortably above freezing, nights can sometimes bring temperatures close to the freezing mark.

Although January is not the rainiest month, it does receive a fair share of precipitation, more so in the form of rainfall in the southern regions. However, for those seeking snowfall, the northern mountains are the place to be. The state's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean can occasionally bring moist air into the region, leading to rainfall even during these colder months.
