After two gray days of biting, relentless cold — Thursday’s high barely reached 50 degrees! — Savannahians finally get a reprieve from winter’s grip

According to The Weather Channel, Savannah’s high on Wednesday was 60, with a wet, damp, chilly low of 51. Thursday was even worse, with a low of 44 and a high of only 50.

Thursday’s low of 44 was only 3 degrees above the average low of 41 for December 13th.

Savannahians responded to the two days of winter in various ways: some skipped their workouts, some — like me — turned on a space heater in the bedroom and retired early, some skipped social engagements, some took to Facebook — repeatedly — to announce their displeasure with the cold.

Some did all of those things, as those Facebook posts show.

With a sunny day in the 60s and with a ten day forecast of highs in the 60s and 70s, with lots of sun, local residents have finally caught a break from those terrible two days.
