Gorgeous morning sunrise. 46deg and breezy. I am at 4,500 feet atop Curtiss Mountain. That's just outside Highlands and a little northeast of Scaly. My daughter is marrying a truly good man today at the Rockwood Lodge, perched gloriously atop this little knob. Family from Macon, Georgia is here, as well as the grooms's folks from St. Louis. I am truly, full to the brim, today. Joy, favor, humbled. Macon has been our home but we have always felt a strong connection with these hills since my daughter was born and we first ventured up here to see her play in the snow one stormy January. Today offers a weather nerd's happy feelings of tracking a little front coming through this afternoon mixed with the reality that it may mean a soggy ceremony. Yes, we are doing this outdoors, today. But I am at peace, and my daughter, who shares my weather love, has just smiled and reminded me that she's always liked a good rainy afternoon, too. These pages have long been a fun place for me to read and occasionally post. I appreciate those of you who have long carried the board's conversations. Say a prayer for my daugher, Roxy, and her fiance', Ben today. And, for their mama's and daddy's. Shack

Under Severe Thunderstorm Warning. 1.5" hail signature headed my way......

Another good Tahoe-Area link to watch. Right now, the Snowcat and and a bobcat trying desperately to keep ahead of accumulations. https://portal.hdontap.com/s/embed/?stream=downhillDeck_tahoedonner&ratio=16:9

I see Donner is shut for the day. Hope you're having an epic trip. I would've liked to make it out. Gonna be one to remember, for sure. Post pics !

My daughter lives in St. Louis. Yesterday's high was 86deg and they set a record. Then, this morning , STL reported an overnight low of 26deg and "Light Snow" from 3:55a.m. until 4:55a.m. That's the definition of "weather-whiplash."

Snow for Larry. And, where's Metallic now? Snow in Waycross.

Four days ago at MCN the low was 16. Today, the high was 77. I'll take it.

NC folks: GFS still giving hope.....(yeah, I know)

Warner Robins AFB reporting sustained 40mph wind with gust to 68.

MCN at 64deg. Wind at 24 with gust to 43mph. Squall line incoming and butt-puckered.

Quite wonderful, sir. 62deg and a cloudy, slightly-wedgie, somewhat moist, Christmas morning here in Lizellaburg.

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.

Nice look. No cold.

Thanks, Bucket. I've always enjoyed your reports from up the hill.

That would be impressive to watch. Any updates on whether any adjacent sites had similar values?

Thanks, Met. Feeling very fallish here in Macon, today, but glad to have an escape for our perpetual summer here.

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 !

About 6 miles. Just up the hill from the Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center tubing hill.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hot. Again. 101deg at MCN. Makes three days in a row above the century mark.

Summery here in Macon. 90deg at my place. 88 for the official high at MCN.

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 !
