What is the climate in the great smoky mountains?

The climate of the Great Smoky Mountains is humid continental, though many of the lower elevations have a subtropical highland climate. Summers are typically short and relatively cool; in the higher elevations highs in summer are only in the 75 - 80*F (24 - 27*C) range in Boone, North Carolina, while nights cool down into the 50s (around 10 - 15*C.) However, in lower elevations summers tend to be rather hot and humid; highs may breech 90*F (32*C) in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, while nights drop to only the upper 60s and low 70s (21*C); however, highs of 100*F (38*C) and above are extremely rare in the mountain range because of very high elevation. Winters are long, cold, and snowy, with high elevations having highs in the low 40s and high 30s (4*C) at Boone and the upper 40s (around 9*C) in Gatlinburg. Lows almost always drop below freezing; as they can average in the teens (-11*C to -7*C) in Boone and can sometimes fall into the single digits (-18*C to -13*C) and, occasionally, below 0*F (-18*C.)

Precipitation and snow are spread widely throughout the year, with a marked dry season in the winter. Snowfall can vary widely, from flurries to over 120 inches (300 cms) during a major blizzard.
