Savannah Frozen Forsyth Park Fountain

Savannah Icy Winter Dream

Frozen Forsyth Park Fountain in Savannah in a winter dream.

When we chose Savannah as our next destination, it was partly because of the weather. In December, the average is supposed to be between 40 and 63ยฐF. So, I never expected to encounter a frozen fountain in Forsyth Park. It’s a beautiful sight, and one that’s relatively rare, so we’re happy to have seen it. But we’re done, now. Could someone please give us back the warm weather we had been promised?

Does it snow in Savannah?

In Savannah, snow is a rare sight. The city has recorded just a few snow events throughout the past century. During the winter months, if there is any precipitation, itโ€™s more likely to be rain than snow.

What should I pack for a winter visit to Savannah?

Don’t forget to layer up! During the day, a light jacket or sweater should keep you warm, but you might want a heavier coat for those chilly evenings. It’s also wise to pack some comfy walking shoes and an umbrella, since winter can bring some rain.

    Before we moved to Savannah last month my hubby looked up the average temperatures. Last night I asked me if he lied to me because it definitely has not been as warm as I was hoping. Thanks for the awesome pictures. I would have loved to see it in person but it would have meant crawling out of my pile of blankets.

    Several of your pics are outstanding….very poster-worthy and/or travel log book cover. I understand the local tourism folk may cringe at the thought of showing Savannah in Deep Freeze. But hey, it’s a beautiful city, no matter what ! Almost like Kentucky.

    I really had no idea it could even get that cold in Savannah but hey, if the results are gorgeous shots like these, I’ll take it! My favorite shot is the one of the mer-cherub with the rainbow. Hope you guys packed your winter things!
