thats funny,lol, will be in gatlinburg, my wife's grandmother lives in spring city, tn they just get some a little ice but that is all, looking to cross over the blue ridge and head to ashville, nc. it will be snowing, never driven in it, seen wrecks on tv though. lol figured it would be worth the question.

That time of year, you could see some pretty good ice storms... I'd go prepared.



We have did the entire blue ridge/skyline drive in several sections... finished the lowest half just a few weeks ago. We have driven sections of it in the winter, and they don't typically close it because it is "just another road" for the locals. I didn't see any need for chains, but I also had 4wd and studs on all four corners.

They will close the road through the park pretty easily, even for visibility, but I would imagine that I40 would be open if you had to get through from Gatlinburg to Ashville.
