After a Long Winter's Break
We just returned from taking our daughter back to college after a LONG Winter's break. We were caught off guard by slick road conditions and spent an unexpected night in a Day's Inn in Liberty. My youngest loved having the chance to see The Steelers win a football game on TV. It was an unplanned mini vacation. Route 17 E hadn't been plowed, nor were the other roads attended to yet. We kept thinking the snow would dissipate the further South we travelled, but it didn't.I asked one man near a grocery store when the snow was supposed to end, and he replied, "Two hours and 3 1/2 inches ago". The best road we encountered was the one over the mountain near New Paltz which had been plowed, although we noticed a plow spinning its wheels on the turnoff by the hairpin curve. We're glad to be home again.
Perhaps pedal power would've been a wiser alternative.

I sure don't like winter driving and avoid if now as much as possible. Before I retired I was often on slippery roads by seven in the morning,praying for safety and spring along the way. The unexpected detour of nighting over can fun.
Sounds like an adventure!
