MINI COOPER :: North American Motoring - Couple of Floridians hitting the dragon in 2 weeks

Ok, I am a native Floridian and one who has been to the dragon before, but have never been in the mountains in November. Anything I need to do to make the MINI ready for the few cold days? I dont suspect we'll see ice, but it looks like it may be pretty darn cold at night.

Having just come back from that area last week, I can tell you that it can be anything from below freezing to 70+. My guess is that it will be in the low 30's at night and in the 50's during the day.

Regarding ice, yes, you can get it at that time in the early morning, especailly on the north side of the hills.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I imagine up on the Cherohala it could get icy fast...

It's so variable, it's kinda hard to say. Just keep a eye on the Weather Channel. nod: And remember...A bad day on vacation beats a good day at work!!

Black ice. Prime time. Wave at KillBoy and then buy your picture off his site.
