>>2721182I've never been out that way during the winter, but I imagine it can be pretty heavily snowed on. The few times I've been out that way, it was a pretty wet climate, and even in the dead of summer the nights can get into the low forties in some places. Hell, last year I walked through the mountains going west on a trip from Williamsburg Virginia to Chicago, and I crossed this one spot called Cheat Mountain. Idk if the AT runs through there, but it's a part of the range. It was in the upper eighties during the lay, and the night got down to 35F. That shit was crazy. They had a plaque near its peak talking about how they built a road through the area to run mail way back in ye olden days, and the mail was always late because of how deep the snow got. If I remember the quote right, when the local postal service was asked why letters took so long to go through, they replied with "Dear sir, if you tore open the side of hell, and backed it up to the mountain in winter, hell would freeze before the mountains thawed."
Pretty funny.
