2013 Winter Adventure Day 2

We left Silver Spring at 7:15 a.m. with an overcast sky and a temperature at 27 degrees.  As the sun rose we were treated to a beautiful sunrise.  Shortly after leaving Frederick we began to see snow covering most of the ground on either side of the highway.  This is the rest stop just north of Frederick.



The ground cover remained fairly heavy through PA and Ohio. This rest stop in OH, where we had lunch, had a reasonably heavy accumulation still on the ground.


This continued to be the case until we reached the Indiana/ Ohio state line with most of the snow cover disappearing. Fortunately the roads were completely clear, of snow.

However the roads had no shortage of law enforcement officers! PA had a state trooper about every 20 miles and OH held the record with a trooper at every other break in the Jersey barrier!

We are at a Best Western in Portage, IN tonight.  It's not the "Ritz" but it's clean and was priced right due to a "free night" voucher we had previously earned. Tomorrow we are off to Council Bluffs, IA.

Babs Says: Cows look so cute and cuddly with their long winter hair and standing in fields covered in snow.
