[at-l] places to check the weather

Also, do you have a waterproof weather radio? If not, hie thee to a Radio Shack! I start and end every day with a loop or two from NOAA radio. Mine is electronic and finds the strongest (nearest) signal.

Please, please please do not consider this to be opional gear!

I like Weather Underground wunderground.com for its features, including local reporting stations and data.  Their Wundermaps can pile a nice bit of information in one presentation.  The Toccoa #1 reporting station in the Suches area (MTCCG1) is at elevation 2,414 and is usually reporting.  Trackrock (KGABLAIR10) is at 2,250 and Buzzard Roost Ridge (KGABLAIR1) is at 2,400. Town Mountain, Blairsville (KGABLAIR7) is at 2,553.  The elevation proxies already suggested can give you a rough estimate of conditions higher up.  

Take Care,

Tim
