Dream on! The last time it snowed in Columbus was 2010. There wasn’t much accumulation, but it was beautiful while it lasted.
Most residents in the Chattahoochee Valley live here due to our mild climate. Our Now Georgia weather guru, Tyler Penland, is showing some temperatures that could be close to record highs in the next few days. Great weather for the kids to play outside with new toys on Christmas Day and the following weekend.
Just think, a little more than a week ago, we were bracing for the coldest temperatures of the season with lows in the mid to upper 20s.
It’s more likely that our area could see frozen precipitation in January and February. The heaviest snow to ever be recorded in Columbus fell in February 1983, more than 14 inches over two days.

Our weather seems to change at the drop of a hat or the drop of the jet stream. If you don’t like the weather today, just wait; it can change quickly.
