What January feels like
January is the emptiest the Parkway ever gets, and the Winterfest lights are still up through town. Newfound Gap Road closes whenever the high country ices over, which happens several times most winters, so check before planning a crossing to Cherokee.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.4 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 23 nights dip below freezing.
