Weather here

Last evening we decided to drive to Dryden for dinner at the A1 restaurant. We did not realize how cold and windy it had become when we set out. There was quite a wind blowing and a bit of snow in the air, but we managed to get there in short order. Maurice had scallops, Anne had carbonara, HW2 had mixed seafood on pasta, and I had a gyro plate. We all had Greek salads, and the food was really good. After dinner we drove a bit further north to go to Walmart and Penney's. Then home. It seemed to get colder and colder throughout the evening. This morning the temperature is in the teens and dropping. It has dropped four degrees since I got up. We are not as cold a good friends Julie and Ron in Minnesota. They are reporting 20 degrees below zero. It gives one pause to think about why we drove to the North Country. My only conclusion is that family outweighs temperature.

When we decided to take off a month to vacation and see family, it could have been either November or Decembe,r and our boss at the RV park suggested it would be better if we went in December. So we agreed with him and set forth on this adventure in December. We have had quite the weather. It rained for several days of travel which makes driving difficult, and now we are in cold and snow country and soon will travel further north to Syracuse, which is always cold and snowy in the winter. Then onward to Michigan by way of Erie which is one of the places that gets more snow than most. Are we crazy? To add to this will be a trip to Wisconsin and more snow?????? Who knows. Family outweighs weather. Happy travels.
