Anyone old enough to remember the song - "In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, on the Trail of the Lonesome Pine"? Well, maybe this is the pine. It's definitely the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. And there's even a trail in the picture - the darkish line running from the lower left to the middle of the right side. That's the Appalachian trail and this weather is probably a good indicator of why through hikers (those who do all 2200 miles between Georgia & Maine) tend to start at the southern end (Georgia) - and wait until spring has a good hold before beginning.
