We are sadly only going to be spending our time in Rome, Georgia, and not Rome, Italy. It would be a bit warmer in Italy.

At 1053PM, ET, Rome was reporting an unusually brisk 28 degrees with clear skies. Throughout the region, skies were clear and temperatures were below freezing as a jet trough dove deep into the Southeast. An occluded area of low pressure sat over the Great Lakes, with a cold front emanating from a secondary (but as is usually the case, stronger) area of low pressure off the southeast coast of Nova Scotia dangled a surface cold front that had already cleared the Florida Peninsula. There were frost and freeze warnings as far south as Orlando.
The upper level structure that is bringing the cold air to the southeast looks to be pretty entrenched, and a surface area of high pressure is unlikely to move. Calm winds and clear nights suggest that frost is something that residents of Rome should get accustomed to for the next couple of days, at least.

This is dangerously cold for this part of the world, where heating systems aren’t as robust as they are further to the north. Brr! At least the sun will be out in the day time, right?
