ATLANTA — This is the coldest weather we've seen in a very long time. Most people woke up Monday to temperatures in the teens and 20s in north Georgia.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Brian Monahan said it was the coldest morning since January 2018.
The wind was gusting up to 15 mph, which made temperatures feel even colder.

We're tracking the chance for possible snow flurries and light snow this week, on Channel 2 Action News This Morning, starting at 4:30 a.m.
Temperatures climbed into the 30s and 40s, but get ready for another cold day Tuesday.
Severe Weather Team 2's Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns said temperatures will drop below freezing overnight.
The cold is causing pipes to burst. In the last 24 hours, we've seen multiple water main breaks, including one on Clairmont Road in DeKalb, another at Spring and 16th streets in midtown Atlanta and one on North Druid Hills Road that sent cars spinning.
The next chance for rain comes later this week.

A busted fire hydrant caused an icy mess on North Druid Hills and Briarcliff Road early Monday morning. Crews blocked the area as they worked to stop the leak.
DeKalb Co.: Police on the scene of water across N. Druid Hills Rd. An open hydrant caused this, and now it's slushy. Please be careful in the eastbound lanes of N. Druid Hills at Briarcliff Rd. #ATLTraffic pic.twitter.com/yFwlh8ED0c
