When we left Central Massachusetts this
past Monday morning, it was 50 degrees F. and pouring rain. It was
great luck for us that Massachusetts hadn't fallen into the deep
freeze yet because had it been 30 degrees cooler with that precip, we probably
wouldn't have been able to leave. But leave we did and managed to
get almost 600 miles under our wheels before we stopped in Virginia.
There was really only one snag we encountered that day. Traffic came
to a complete halt in New York because of a car fire. But it only
took 20 minutes for us to get going again. Meanwhile, two cars with
a bunch of kids kept us entertained by throwing strawberries and
goldfish at each other. They did remember to take the goldfish back
in the car before they took off again.
And then there was this pooch who was
more than interested in what was going on.
Mostly what we saw was a landscape that
remained very grey and got progressively colder until by the time we
arrived in Virginia, the temps were in the single digits.
