See Town-By-Town Snowfall Totals From GA Winter Storm

ATLANTA, GA — Nearly 8 inches of snow blanketed Georgia during Saturday's bomb cyclone, according to the National Weather Service on Monday.

AccuWeather on Monday reported the winter storm caused a range of $13 billion to $15 billion in damages and loss as it blasted across the U.S.

It was the second multibillion-dollar weather disaster to affect the U.S. in two weeks. The first storm came with an expense of $105 billion to $115 billion and impacted at least 200 million people, AccuWeather reported.

In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday issued a second state of emergency in anticipation of the storm. It will expire Friday, and Georgia National Guard members remained activated for recovery.

“This bomb cyclone is the latest costly setback amid a relentless stretch of cold, snowy, icy and dangerous winter weather,” AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said in a news release. “Some communities have been struggling to clean up and fully rebound from the previous massive winter storm. Now they’re dealing with more costly disruptions and shutdowns. Dangerous cold that surged deeper into Florida is putting more crops and citrus groves at risk, driving losses even higher.”
