Winters grip

Winters Grip. In the valley,  this winter has been fairly mild. No snow, no freezing rain. And most nights are barely below freezing. 
Knock on wood! 

It's quite a different situation up on the mountain.  Shenandoah national park... Skyline Drive. Winter storms,  freezing temps, snow, freezing rain, ice and high winds & downed trees have kept most and sometimes all of the drive closed.
