The Wrap

If you woke up to a chilly morning, there's a reason: Saturday night's lows dropped into the 30s, and the National Weather Service issued frost advisories across north Georgia, from Atlanta to Blue Ridge. Clear skies and calm winds were the cause, and sensitive outdoor plants were at risk. Porch ferns, we hope you made it.
