Snowing in PA

Today was a great day for driving! Cool and brisk out but sunny. I started driving in Effingham,IL around 0300 this morning and entered PA around 1300 hours. I was driving along thinking what a beautiful view. Stunning is all I can say about the scenery. The leaves are changing and I was lost in a sea of color. Reds, yellows, purples, greens, and just about every color in between. I was actually thinking how it would be so cool to have a house up in the area so we could enjoy the fall. We could sit on our back porch wrapped up in a blanket, cup of hot chocolate (with marshmallows of course) and just breathe. You know, actually breathe in the scent of Fall. Then out of now where, SPLAT! Right on my windshield. Of course this brought me out of my reverie. Much to my dismay, it was raining! No, wait a minute, that isn't rain. It is sleet! That immediately turned into big wet snowflakes! What the hell? I am daydreaming about FALL, not winter!

Now that my beautiful visions are shattered, I decided to grip the steering wheel and hold of for dear life. I drove a few miles and it turned into a really heavy snowfall and it was starting to cover the ground. Finally I got out of the snow and into the sunshine and the snow stopped. Very wierd! I checked online and there are scattered snow showers all through PA but is doesn't look like any of them will amount to anything. Thank goodness!! Snow is not my favorite thing to drive in!

We are actually running a little ahead of schedule with us kicking ass on miles yesterday and today. We should make it in around 2100 or so. We are scheduled to be available around 0030 so that will give us time to go get a shower. I sent our DBR a message telling her to tell the Trip Planners to find us something to California where it is warm because it was snowing up here in PA! Haven't heard from her so we will see what happens!
