You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''North Georgia''' is the northern [[hill]]y/[[mountain]]ous region in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. At the time of the arrival of [[settler]]s from [[Europe]], it was inhabited largely by the [[Cherokee]]. The counties of north Georgia were often scenes of important events in the [[History of Georgia (U.S. state)|history of Georgia]]. It was the site of many [[American Civil War]] battles, including the [[Battle of Lookout Mountain]] and the [[Battle of Chickamauga]], leading up to the [[Atlanta Campaign]]. Today, particularly in the northeast portion of the region, [[tourism]] sustains the local economy.

==Geography==
North Georgia encompasses the [[north Georgia mountains]] (far northeast and northwest) region of the state and the [[Atlanta metropolitan area]], although the term is often used to describe only the region north of the metro area, especially in [[newscast]]s from the Atlanta [[media market]] (which reach nearly all of the northern third of the state). To the south lies [[central Georgia]], with [[upstate South Carolina]] to the east, [[western North Carolina]] to the northeast, [[East Tennessee]] to the north, and [[northeast Alabama]] to the west. Part of metropolitan [[Chattanooga]] extends into the far northwestern section of Georgia from [[Tennessee]], while most of the rest of the region is tied to Atlanta-area [[mass media]].

The highest of Georgia's [[Appalachian Mountains]] are near the [[North Carolina]] border, including [[Brasstown Bald]], the highest point in the state. The northwest contains part of the [[Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone|eastern Tennessee seismic zone]], and small [[earthquake]]s have been felt as far away as [[Atlanta]]. The [[foothills]] gradually flatten out toward the south. Much of metro Atlanta is hilly as well, especially on the north and west.

Major [[river]]s include the upper [[Chattahoochee River]], upper [[Savannah River]], [[Etowah River]], far upper [[Flint River (Georgia)|Flint River]], upper [[Coosa River]], and upper [[Oconee River]]. Smaller [[tributary]] rivers are the [[Little River (northern Georgia)|Little River]], [[Chestatee River]], [[Chattooga River]], [[Tallulah River]], [[Tugalo River]], [[Oostanaula River]], [[Coosawattee River]], [[Cartecay River]], [[Ellijay River]], [[Conasauga River]], [[Toccoa River]], [[Sweetwater Creek (west of Atlanta)|Sweetwater Creek]], upper [[Tallapoosa River]], upper [[Yellow River (Georgia)|Yellow River]], [[Nottely River]], and small [[headwaters]] of the far upper [[Hiawassee River]] and [[Little Tennessee River]]. Were it not for a 19th-century [[surveying]] error that failed to place the state's northern border at exactly 35°N, it would also touch the [[Tennessee River]].

==Climate==
Throughout North Georgia, average temperatures can change drastically at elevations of ((convert|700|feet|m|-1)) or more above sea level. At these elevations the average summer (from May 31 to September 30) temperature is about ((convert|80|F|C|1|disp=or)) during the afternoon and around ((convert|67|F|C|1|disp=or)) during the morning. Daytime in summer can be hot, often stormy, and humid, whilst nights can be rainy and humid, rarely with temperatures below ((convert|65|F|C|1|disp=or)). The average winter temperature (from December 1 to March 1) is about ((convert|39|F|C|1|disp=or)) during the afternoon and around ((convert|24|F|C|1|disp=or)) during the morning. Daytime in winter can be humid, windy, and cold, while nights can be frigid and humid. Snow can fall annually anywhere above ((convert|800|to|900|ft|m|-1)), with a large blizzard typically happening every couple of years and more typically ((convert|1|to|5|in|m|sigfig=2)) annually.
