Was just checking the Weather and forecast for Blairsville (gotten up here from internet) is 30% chance of rain Fri, Then 60% chance on Sat with the forecast being for Thunderstorms and then 40% for rain on Sunday. That just royally blows. Anybody locale to the area have more insight as to the weather???

Looks like we are leaving after school on Thursday and heading up to see our son in Decatur, GA. We'll be in Blairsville some time mid day on Friday. No rooms at Copperhead that we could get (had to wait too long to see if we would be able to make the trip). We are staying in town at Best Western.

That being said, I will be staying from Friday till Sunday morning, then depart to head back to sunny, tropical Florida. Now, next weekend I probably will be doing the 2,600 miles out and back to Wichita, KS

Goose is the Southeastern Asst. Leader in Charge of Weather. You'll have to direct all inquiries and complaints to his attention.
