Most of Blue Ridge parkway closed for snow and ice
While the Asheville ``commuter zone'' section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is open for travel, most of the rest of the Parkway in North Carolina -- which contains the highest points on the entire parkway -- are closed for snow and ice on roadway and for weather forecast of snowy, slippery and dangerous conditions.
On Wednesday, October 17, 2012, Trail Ridge Road officially closed for the season to through travel.
