[pct-l] southern Appalachian temps this weekend

[Marcia]

Weather is the main reason that I think Hiking Season begins May 1. AT 
hikers push their starts earlier and earlier, are forced to huddle in 
shelters through longer nights and shorter days, and suffer more miserable 
weather IMHO.

What are your plans this year, Weathercarrot?

But, of course, YMMV
GottaWalk but not in April cold snaps

On the highest peaks of the southern Appalachians, it's about as cold as it
ever gets in April, although I remember several April cold snaps that were
fairly close to this (early April of 1992 comes to mind). Here's a quote
from averyweather.com:

<< Some of the colder temperatures in the region Saturday morning included 1
degree above zero at Mount Leconte in the Smokies, 2 on Mount Mitchell and 6
degrees at Beech Mountain (with a half-foot of snow reported).  >>

and here's the smokies daily temp report from the NWS:

from there you can access previous versions going back a few weeks.
