I guess the difference is your average is "nice," but 12 F lower at 48 F is lousy.
Exactly, at 60 I can wear shorts and a t-shirt and be comfortable (with sunny conditions or little wind) but at 48 I would be very cold. At 18, I would be wearing the same stuff I wear at 30.
Edit: It's actually 48 right now and doesn't feel bad compared to the past two days. But I'm in pants and a long sleeve shirt. And it's sunny.

^^ Lucky. We don't see avg highs of 60+ F until 2nd week of May.
Today hasn't been so good to me.
Long walk with an old dog who stood still a lot, moving too slow when in motion.
(near-impossible to increase my heartrate ) Temp was -2 C (28 F) with 30 km/h (18 mph?) winds, 74% humidity and dull, overcast-skies.
After 10-15 minutes my fingers had no warmth inside my "thinsulate" gloves
and for the next 10-15 minutes pain in my fingertips; the cold was really kicking my butt.
A walk on a day with a 46 C (115 F) heat index would have been easier to handle.

I agree. The front's moving through here now. The wind is biting cold and quite gusty at times. Snow north of us in Oklahoma, moving this way... Grrrrr....
Here's our averages from the Weather Channel. Avg high of 60 starts Feb. 22 and ends November 28. I just wish it lasted even longer.
Kinda makes me wish the American Revolution didn't succeed;
that way there'd only be one English speaking country in North America.
(I know Georgia is nice, I've actually seen a lot of the southeastern US )
Looking at your averages, Snellville is a part of "Middle Georgia"?

Not quite. It's still part of North Georgia east of Atlanta. It is one of the warmer areas of metro Atlanta though (by one or two degrees). Middle Georgia (Columbus, Macon, etc.) has average Jan highs in the mid to upper 50s while South Georgia and the Coast have Jan highs in the low 60s.
The main differences in temperature have to do with the geography. You have the Piedmont and mountains in North Georgia with the Fall Line cutting through Middle Georgia and South Georgia is all about the Coastal Plain.
Our average high for today is still 29 F. (-1.5 C)
But at least with your averages, the snow "shouldn't" be sticking around for much longer.
You're a brave and hearty soul CC! I guess you acclimate to such a climate, but I'm too old to be acclimating to anything these days. I just want some nice, decent warm temperatures, which seem to be eluding us although to you our temps here would be a heatwave of sorts, lol.. It's 42 here, going down into the mid 20s for lows, which isn't too bad at all, and we had sunshine all day. Thursday it's supposed to get up to 61!!!!

Brave? I wouldn't go that far.
I'd say more likely able to put up with A LOT of climate-B.S.
but I don't really have much of a choice, at the moment.
I'm acclimtated to 65+ F, btw.
(my car heat almost never turns off )
