I will keep blasting this out to yall: http:\/\/www.georgiaweather.net\/?content=calculator&variable=CC&site=DIXIE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The UGA weather station in Dixie. It will give you a quick idea if you don\u2019t have a temperature probe. As of today, 03\/16\/2026 this is where we are at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Hurricane Helene Block Grant applications opened today.
