𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭!

A G4 “Severe” Geomagnetic Storm has arrived earlier than expected and that means the Northern Lights could be visible much farther south than usual, even possibly here in North Georgia tonight.

Grab your camera, head away from city lights, and look north after dark. You might catch a rare glow or colorful ribbon in the sky.

This storm is powerful enough to cause some satellite or GPS disruptions, but for most of us, it just means an incredible light show in the heavens.

If you spot anything, share your photos right here, we’d love to see what the skies over Ellijay look like tonight.

Let the cold begin! 🥶

**OUTDATED - See latest post for update**
🌨 Light snow will be possible across portions of far north Georgia this afternoon and evening, mainly between 2-10 PM. Accumulations are forecast to range from a trace to a half-inch (mainly on grassy or elevated surfaces). Isolated higher amounts will be possible in the highest elevations where temperatures will struggle to get above freezing today. Slick spots may linger through Tuesday morning where snow is able to accumulate.

Frost warning for the morning 🥶

PATCHY FROST TONIGHT
Tonight, we should get cold enough for at least patchy frost across parts of north Georgia. Best chances will occur across areas highlighted in pink. There, lows will dip into the mid to upper 30s. Some of the usual, colder pockets within this region may see some light frost. For now, it isn’t forecast to be a widespread enough issue for the NWS to issue a frost advisory. Tomorrow night, colder temperatures and a greater potential for frost is likely.

Beaver moon next week 🦫

🌕 November 5, 2025 — The Beaver Supermoon

Get ready for the brightest full moon of the entire year!
On the night of November 5, the Beaver Supermoon will light up the sky — larger, closer, and more radiant than any other full moon of 2025.

This celestial spectacle occurs when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth (perigee) at the same time as the full phase, making it appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual.

The name “Beaver Moon” comes from Native American and early colonial traditions — a time when beavers were most active, preparing for winter before the rivers froze.

✨ Best Viewing Tips:
• Look east shortly after sunset for the most dramatic rise.
• Try photographing it near trees, mountains, or buildings for a stunning perspective.
• If skies are clear, this will be a night to remember — and to look up!

📍 Mark your calendars:
November 5, 2025 — The Year’s Brightest Moon 🌕
