What happened

The episode as NWS FFC wrote it up.

The first major Canadian high pressure system of the fall season brought record to near record low temperatures across much of north and central Georgia. Record low temperatures were recorded at Atlanta, Athens, and Columbus during the early morning hours of the 26th. At Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, a new record low of 43 degrees was recorded, which broke the previous record of 46 degrees set in 1940. Athens tied their record low of 45 degrees set in 1950 while Columbus reported a new record low of 48 degrees, breaking the previous record of 50 degrees set in 1990. Low temperatures in the 40s were widespread across north and central Georgia, while many locations in the north reported lows in the middle to upper 30s, with some locations in the northeast mountains dropping as low as the lower 30s. Similar low temperatures were observed on the 27th, but no record lows were reported. Normal low temperatures for this time of year are in the upper 50s and lower 60s.
