Atlanta has been invaded by foreign elements and it's set up camp again. There were still some flurries in the air, so pardon the extra fuzz...

Correct. This vantage point is from Mount Wilkinson, the highest point ITP rising just below 1000 (exactly 981) feet.

i think the cemetery has not been groomed for a while so it's tough to get shots from up there because of all the overgrowth but maybe someone has cleaned it up. I would bet these pics are from the office bldg.

The official elevation of Mount Wilkinson is 1170 feet AMSL, from what I have read.

The airport (Hartsfield) is officially 1014 feet AMSL.

Interesting. I got the elevation stats from the USGS website. I also, noticed they've listed Kennesaw Mountain alot shorter than it's usually cited height (1808 feet but USGS lists 1775 feet).

I absolutely love snow that is not accompanied by ice. Thank you for the pictures.
