COLD WEATHER FIGURES
SHOW 1906
Forecaster Marbury’s Books
of the Coldest Winter from
the Year 1835 to
1906.
For a great many ^yeare
has been much discussion
almost as great variance regard
ing the date of the
“cold Saturday” and other
tremely severe winters and cold
waves in the history of the south.
Always an interesting topic
conversation, the weather has
also played a tremendous purt
and had a most potent influence
in the making for weal or woe
of each of the many yearly chap¬
ters of the up-building of the
south.
The following facts and figures
are taken directly from the olli
cial records and were supplied by
Director J. B. Marbury of the
Atlanta weather bureau, after
much careful research.
absolutely accurate, these fig¬
ures, if cut out and pasted in
scrap book, are certain to
valuable in the settling of all
future disputes as to just
dates and winters were the cold¬
est in the south.
Before taking up the
statistics, it may be
to know that the “Great
referred to in the history of
England occurred in the
of 1717. At that time the New
England states were
snowed under and the white
terial lay on the streets of Boston
to the depth of 5 and 6 feet on
the level. Of course, much
of life, cattle and property
resulted. The “Gold Winter”
in New England, which also
caused such awful sullering, loss
of life and damage was that of
1740-1741.
The “Cold Saturday,” so ofter
referred to by elderly persons, in
the south occurred on February
8, 1885. A cold wave struck the
entire southland at this time and
on February 7, the bitter weath¬
er caused a wonderful sensation
in all of fhe southeastern states.
Much loss of life and property
was reported and it was thought
that the mercury could not drop
any lower in the thermometer.
But the following day, the teiu-

perature watt even lower. The
year being 1885, it is, of course,
impossible to give any dates for
Atlanta, the metropolis of the
south not being on the map at
that time. But from the tem¬
peratures reported at other places
around Atlanta, this must have
been the coldest day on record
and the Cherokees who pitched
their tents on the most valuable
portions of Whitehall street and
the most exclusive locations on
Peachtree, must have hugged
their camp fires and dreamily
longed for the steam heated
apartment houses of this imme¬
diate present.
Taking the nearby points as a
criterion, the temperature at
tli at point on the Chatta¬
hoochee where now stands
Atlanta must have been even
lower than that February 18,
1899, remembered by so many
Atlantans. It was at tiiis time
that the mercury dropped to
81-2 degrees below zero and at
the same time established the
lowest temperature record in the
history of the Atlanta weather
bureau.
But going back to that “Cold
Saturday” of 1885, the thermom¬
eter officially registered 101-2
degrees below zero at Athens;
Charleston, S. O,, 2 degrees
above zero; Clarksville, Ga., 15
degrees below zero: Savannah, 8
degrees above zero; Milledge
ville, 9 degrees below', and An
gusta, 2 degrees below zero. Dr.
Jackson, professor of natural
science at the university at
Athens, reported 15 degrees be
low zero for this same “Cold Sat
urtlay” at Athens.
Going much further back into
history, the winter of 1748 is
cited by Gayaire as being the
“cold winter” in New' Orleans
when temperatures were much
lower than were ever
known at that place.
In 1818, snow was reported
general in Mississippi and an
abundance of ice in New Orleans,
In 1858 there was another great
cold wave in January when alt
subtropical plants were damaged
or destroyed and temperatures
at 17 degress above zero reported
at New Orleans; 10 degrees
above at Pensacola and 14
at Charleston. Snow fell at New
Orleans for several days and on
January 18, snow fell throughout
the day at Charleston and Jack¬
sonville.
The winter of 1855-5(5 was re¬
ported as one of the most severe
throughout the entire eastern
section of the country with much
damage to property and great
suffering.
A severe cold period from
March 19 to 22, 187(5, was report
ed and many orange trees killed
outright. In the December fol¬
lowing of this same year, fish
were reported killed by the cold
and much snow fell throughout

the south.
In 1884, on January 6, Atlanta
reported 1.8 degrees below zero.
In 1880, one of the coldest pe¬
riods for many years existed from
January 6to 12. It was estimated
that over three millions of dol¬
lars damage to oranges and fruit
interests occurred in Florid*,
where the year is still referred to
as the “first big freeze.” On
January 11, 188(5, 2.4 degrees be¬
low' zero was reported by the
w'eather bureau in Atlanta *12
degrees above at Savannah and
Jo above at New Orleans. This
W38 stated to be the coldest
weather since 1885, and great
damage was done throughout the
South,
In February, 1895, more snow
was reported m Florida than at
any other previous time since the
establishment of the weather bu¬
reau. some thirty years before.
There was sleighing in Pensacola,
snow reported two feet deep in
southwest Georgia and snow fell
in Tampa. Severe cold waves
followed.
February, 1800, brought on the
date of the 18th, the coldest rec¬
ord for Atlanta as reported above.
A heavy snowstorm struck the
Middle Atlantic states and tre¬
mendous damage resulted
orange trees ami other interests,
In addition to 8,1 -2 degrees below
zero reported at Atlanta, New
Orleans reported 7degrees above,
Vicksburg exactly zero; J degree
below at Mobile; 4 degrees be
low at Montgomery; 8 degrees
above at Savannah and 10
above at Jacksonville,
This date, like that of the
“cold Saturday,” in 1885, have
been epoch-making events in t lie
weather history of the South,and
constantly referred to
cold waves or low temperature
happen along,
Just to keep the reader
ntally freezing to death
absorbing so many cbki temper;
tures in the past, and to
about a more normal
it may be wel^ to add that
hottest day in the history of
Atlanta weather bureau for the
past 29 years occurred July 19,
i when the mercury went to the
j 100 mark.
