Re: [at-l] How Cold can it get on the AT in the South?



Very true. A few years ago a young woman died from exposure in the Mt.
Rogers Recreation area during an "average winter storm". She and her male
companion were not prepared, Chase was there during this same storm and
had a great time. Winter can be very unforgiving. Be prepared and know
your limitations. Even with this in mind never forget the unexpected can
still kill you, even in relatively mild southern winters.
