The problem with the get a room plan is that there likely will be no rooms available.  If there is any possibility of delaying the trip by a day you will likely save yourself from a huge headache.

I don't have any personal experience with snow in those states but I am almost certain that it takes them longer to recover than it does northern folk!

Last year when went to BigJim's to hog hunt. We had 14inches on the ground. Which fell during the night. We drove 35mph on interstate and didn't get of snow until we about hit the Tennessee and Georgia line. Just be safe and if you can let a plow truck pass you and follow behind at good distance. If they are throwing salt. It'll give ya traction.
Have a fun hunt.
Where are yall going in Georgia?

Think it over. You have to go through mountains, unless you go west of the Mississippi. AND everyone else will be pulling off to stay the night! Been there, done that. Even hotel parking lots will be a mess. Do wish you the best.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

Indiana is mostly unscathed. A bit of snow down near the Ohio River if that helps you any.

The latest from CNN.
Hope the brothers are OK.
Here are the latest developments as of 6:40 a.m. ET:

-- A weather-related traffic backup on southbound Interstate 75 in Kentucky is about 35 miles long -- between mile marker 76 and 41, state trooper Kendra Wilson told CNN on Saturday morning. People have been stuck on the highway for more than 12 hours.

Charlie,
Safe travels, weather or not and good luck with the pigs. Hunted earlier this month with Irv Eichorst @ Ft. Pierce. Going back again this spring. Looking forward to some stories!

Takes longer than 30-45 minutes to stop and get a burger.  Getting stuck on an interstate due to snow or wreck can cause hours.  Figure at least a day for the plows to clear the main roads.  If you can get behind where this storm has been, that's the way to go, IMO.  Drive safe, have a great hunt!

achigan is right, the video of 75 this morning looked like an 18 wheeler parking lot, 35 mile one. Wish you well, when I a guy has a hunt planned it is hard to cancel....

Cyclic-Rivers

It's been a beautiful trip!  Just passing Tennessee on 75 south.

Thanks for all the responses.  These states certainly have been hit with more snow than normal.  We hit a little coming through Kentucky but it's behind us.it looks like the national guard have been working tirelessly on bad drivers. Kudos to their efforts.

Tomorrow we Hunt  :)
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Charlie, I will not even guess where you keep that golden horseshoe.

Still snowing sideways here.

Congrats on getting around the mess Charlie. You may wanna buy a lottery ticket while you're on a roll.

Killie, they only had about a foot and only about 6 inches on the road for about 100 miles.  Not bad... Only one slow down due to a couple jacknifed tractor trailers. Hopefully our luck continues on the hunt.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Way to go Charlie. You're my hero. Where will you be hunting? Making final arrangements for a hunt with Beaunaro in FL for the end of March. I hate this stuff. 6:13 PM and still snowing.

Well looks like you can start thinking about pigs instead of snow.  Good luck!
