Just don’t get off the interstate of take any “short-cuts” while going through the mountains either the Rockies or the Smokies. It is not winter in the lowlands yet but stuff changes fast at high altitudes.
Note if you have not driven this route before you will understand why the square states between the mountain ranges is called “flyover country” when the trip is done.
St Louis… If it is foggy approaching(100 miles on either side) pull over and get a meal and maybe a hotel room until it clears. The locals are insane and regularly end up in big piles in the fog.
If it is clear, don’t attempt to go slower than 80 during rush hour or you will be rear-ended.
Have a nice trip and enjoy Wake county.
