An Arctic air mass descending on Georgia this weekend will shatter weeks of temperate calm, plunging temperatures 20 to 30 degrees below normal and exposing residents to wind chills in the single digits — conditions that test both infrastructure and human preparedness. The possibility of snow and ice next week remains unresolved, a reminder that in matters of weather and readiness alike, uncertainty is itself a kind of forecast.
