I know it doesn’t happen often but the southern escarpment needs it. Expand Models are shifting the tropical storm to far south for us to get much benefit, but Monday and Tuesday look quite wet around here so hopefully we can score some rain that way.

wncsnow Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 .47 here with rain ending. We needed it and hopefully we can eclipse 2 inches by the time this little event is over. It looks to dry out again after this. Nice NW flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shack Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of waterfalls, very close to the BRP and you aren't too far from great hiking in NE GA too.That area always does well during Miller As so here's hoping you get a big one this winter.
