We left this morning at 2:30 am for the Sunny South. The weather report last night was calling for a storm coming across from the west. The weather was clear when we woke up. I figured if I could get to Erie before it hit I would be ahead of the game. Roads were all clear right up to the Queenston border where we were greeted by about 8 inches of snow with flakes coming down the size of baseballs! It was hit and miss as we passed through Buffalo so it seemed like it was just streamers coming off of Lake Ontario. Once out Buffalo we had clear sailing all the way to Erie. I figured we had it beat!
We stopped at McDonalds in Erie for breakfast and while we're inside it starts snowing. Holy crap, it really started snowing! The only way I knew I was on the road was by staying between the snowpiles on each side of the road! It was so bad that we finally had to pull over at one of the rest stops and wait until daylight.
Our drive was a real tough one well past Beckley! There was even snow in the parking lots in Charlotte from their last storm!
We kept pushing on and made it all the way to Columbia, South Carolina. Glad we got that one behind us!
