Glad you did fine, lots of shady spots on those roads. You can seem fine, then hit what seems like wet glass.

yeah, we made the climb up Parkway road from near Rossman on US 64... about 15 miles of climbing winding road to get to the Blue Ridge Pkway... when we got above 4000 feet started to see signs of snow... got up to the entrance to the BRPway and the gates were shut... LOL... it was slippery up there.. continued on to Waynesville. soon as we dropped below 4000 feet the snow as gone..
 
I try to drive the southern part of BRP every couple of years. I'll get up at 4-5 am and get up to the start just in time to watch the sunrise. Me, the car, and nature, it's good for the mental health. Although, I don't think I made sunrise the last time, must have gotten up late.

Towing? Looks like there was a lot of ice on the roads and some low hanging trailer banging limbs.

It looks like fog in the valleys off in the distance. I do time lapse photography and would love to sit there taking timed frames as the fog sloshes around and burns off.
