It is a commonly held belief that the winter solstice, the period of the year with the least sunlight, would logically be the time when temperatures are coldest. However, now that the winter holidays have come to a close, the time has really come to begin preparing for wintry inclement weather. The coldest period of the year generally happens in February, meaning that we still have at least two more months of frost, ice, and potentially some rare Georgia snowfall. Backup generators can provide peace of mind in an uncertain world, especially during the height of wintry weather.
