Since watching the weather forecast for the north on the way back to NJ. Me and the +1 decided to leave as early as possible since we didn't have the snow tires mounted!!

We left at 6:00am with somebody from Michigan. We rode down the Dragon in Fog, SCARY FOG! Not fun at all. The rest of the trip's weather was remarkably good. Except for the last 100 miles. Heaviest rain I've seen in a real long time! We got home at 7:30 pm unscathed! We hope everyone made it home to return for another Dragon Event!

Another great time as usual! Met some new friends and saw some old ones.

Just got home. Just a wee bit of snow north of Knoxville that lasted maybe 2 min. By the time we got to Louisville the sun was out.

Had a great time!

Thanks to the WTD for all your hard work!
Louisville is always sunny!!!! Ha. Glad you made it and was great seeing you guys!!!

Left Fontana Village around 9am, then stopped at Deal's Gap. Then went through the fog on the Foothills. Stopped and ate breakfast. Then got back on the road and once we got out of Knoxville, we started getting sleet and snow, heavy, but it wasnt sticking. Then finally got home around 4:30.

We both home all safe and sound!!!

Me and speed4tu left at 10:00 this morning. I just got back home at 8:00pm. I40 weather was no joke, We had to exit off for cover 3 times because of hail. No damage thank goodness. There was also a traffic jam from a 10 car pile up in the rain.
Holy crap! That sucks!

I didnt leave until 4:30 but I hit snow crossing into NC from Tn

It wasnt so bad. Didnt slow me down though. They must have just cleared up the accident because it was pretty clear driving aside from being wet on I-40 from Knoxville to Raleigh NC
