For instance, weather in Staunton, VA on Thursday:

They actually write 'Sleet and freezing rain; travel will be extremely difficult and dangerous'.

Similar forecast for Harrisonburg, VA (place where I originally thought of staying overnight on Thursday):

https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/ha...t/336229?day=3

In addition to the similar warning on travel, Thursday night forecast for Harrisonburg says:"Cloudy; a heavy shower in the evening, then rain, beginning after temperatures rise above freezing"

Since I still have my summer tires on, I guess I better take it easy and decide both my route and Thursday night halt based on the weather. So, sorry, cannot commit joining you folks on Friday. Bummer.

We have a snow mix forecast for the Blue Ridge Mountains (south of Asheville) for today through Thursday. I am counting on it clearing on Friday. Often the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed if there has been ice or snow.


We will have to play it by ear. The threatening weather is our friend and is what will keep the crowds away on Saturday.
