What is the weather like in the Appalachian?

The weather in the southern Appalachian Mountains region is different at higher and lower altitudes due to the wide range in elevation.

Higher elevations have clearer skies and drier air and are 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the lower elevations.

There are four distinct seasons in Appalachia, but snowfall and cold weather can come at any time between October and April. Temperatures range between mildly cold in lower elevations to bitterly cold with quite a lot of snowfall in higher elevations. Springtime arrives between March and May, and summers are hot and humid with common afternoon thunderstorms in the low-lying areas; it is drier and cooler in the upper areas.

When did moonshining in appalachia start?

Moonshining did not start during the prohibition era. Moonshining started in 1791 when Alexander Hamilton proposed a bill in 1790 that was signed by George Washington creating a "sin" tax that raised the tax on imported liquor and began taxing domestically produced whiskey. This so infuriated the American distillers that it led to the Whisky Revolution of 1794. Moonshining began as a way to escape paying the high taxes to the newly formed United States government.
