Want to start off this blog by saying the support lately with contributions towards the weather fund has been incredible. Money goes to equipment like cameras and possible web cam that’s coming. Got to work out WiFi issues for it first. Also chasing and upgrades for content. Appreciate you all. 

Share/Retweet these blogs are much appreciated. Goal for this blog is to show what a micro climate can do. 

Excited to announce NC/TN High Country WX has a store online now. Couple items there now. Will be adding more in the coming days. Money goes weather items and adventures.
