  1. Quite wonderful, sir. 62deg and a cloudy, slightly-wedgie, somewhat moist, Christmas morning here in Lizellaburg.
  2. 63deg and green. Green, as in the sky (cloud) color at daybreak. Always an interesting spectral phenomena to me. Thunderstorm incoming. Who doesn't love a good thunderstorm at daybreak.
  3. Thanks, Bucket. I've always enjoyed your reports from up the hill.
  4. That would be impressive to watch. Any updates on whether any adjacent sites had similar values?
  5. Thanks, Met. Feeling very fallish here in Macon, today, but glad to have an escape for our perpetual summer here.
  6. Thanks, Sir. We hiked down the Glen Falls trail last week with our daughter and future son-in-law. Just, gorgeous. And, I'm always pulling for the Miller A's !
  7. About 6 miles. Just up the hill from the Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center tubing hill.
  8. Good Friday afternoon, mountain-folk. I can, today, finally feel like I have some legitimacy posting in this sub-forum. My wife and I, although still firmly homesteaded in the barely-above-sea level, relative flatness of western Bibb County, Georgia, bought a little piece of altitudinal heaven yesterday. We closed on a little house outside of Highlands, down hwy 106 towards Scaly Mountain. Sits at 3,717ft, as best I can tell. Looking forward to hanging out there and will be setting up new weather station when my Starlink finally arrives.
  9. Thankfully, the terribleness for my area has subsided. Our NWS-Tropical Storm-Warned, county endured nearly an INCH, (1) of precipitation, along with a howling sustained wind of hmmmm, (checks again).......11mph with catastrophic gusts to........wait for it,.........23mph.
  10. Just now got upgraded to Tropical Storm Warning here in Macon(Bibb County) Thinking my friends to the south around Valdosta are going to get an (unfondly) memorable event.
  11. 75 and muggy this early morn. And, just now, my weather radio just went off to tell me that my county(Bibb) had been upgraded to a Tropical Storm Warning.
  12. Hot. Again. 101deg at MCN. Makes three days in a row above the century mark.
  13. Summery here in Macon. 90deg at my place. 88 for the official high at MCN.
  14. 64deg and sho' nuff foggy here in Macon. And, we had 5.4" of rain in about a 8 hour period ending yesterday at about 11:00. Possibly more upstream from us. Lake Tobesofkee flooded it's banks for the first time in my 18 years on it. Boathouse is a mess, of course, but the really interesting thing is sheer amount of debris in the water this morning. I went out at daybreak and I swear you could just about walk across the whole thing. Logs and sticks and lumber, Oh, My !
  15. Impressive return(looks to be approaching 60dbz) north of downtown. I'm guessing this came from somewhere in that fun, little, bunch of mucho-moisture? Here in Macon, 70deg, and awaiting the midnight round of watches and warnings. EDIT: posted this and then I see a white spot in that return (60+dBZ). I'm guessing that's some roofer contractor's dream radar return.
  16. 42 here in Macon for our low. Incidentally, does anyone know why NWS radars are not accessible for the last hour or so? Rather, why the returns disappear on the screen, across the country, all at about the same time?
  17. Low of 28deg at MCN this morning. That's a bummer for our peach growers. Not sure of extent of damage yet.
  18. 69deg when I awoke this morning. Birds seemed abnormally vocal. Macon averaged 8.2deg above normal for the month of February and had 8 days at 80deg or higher, hitting 85deg on the 28th. Pollen kicked off here about two weeks ago.
  19. Tony ! Where you been? I'm with ya' on the 100 year sleet storm. Disappointed in our immediate outlook, though, for anything of the such as the cold looks allergic to our latitude. Maybe the SSW will deliver us a Valentines Day sledding event. Off topic, but how'd you fare in last weeks breezy conditions around Griffin? I came through on Saturday and whoa, what a mess !
  20. Under a Tornado Warning until a few minutes ago. 65 and rain now. Looks like the spin-ups have been brief.
  21. So, is no one thinking the ZR potential for Thursday the 22nd has the potential to eventually affect more of the Carolinas CAD- prone areas? -Decent highs up north -Traditional underestimation by the models -etc. 12z GFS shows a decent amount in Southwest VA.
  22. Hope everyone was able to fully contemplate the nature of today's proclamatory name. Stewards we are, Servants we be, Though, dominion given, Our thoughts are to Thee. Grateful for Sun, Thankful for Sea, Creation, your bounty, Was given to me.
