Winter Travels
When we left Maryland on December 31st to head out on a two-week plus trip, we asked you to pray that there would be no snow on the days that we traveled. God really answered your prayers!
We made it to Connecticut without any problems and had a good week there. AFTER we left they got over two feet of snow, making it one of their biggest storms ever. The day AFTER we arrived in Pennsylvania, it snowed. It wasn't a huge snow, but would not have been fun to drive in. On the way from Pennsylvania to Ohio we got into a short, but heavy snow shower. Within 15 minutes we were out of it.
We had a great week in Ohio. Again, there was snow while we were there, but we only had to travel short distances from my cousin's house where we were staying to Cedarville, about 12 miles.
The most snow we got into was when traveling from Ohio back to NW Pennsylvania where we were scheduled to speak. It was pretty, but it did slow us down a bit. This house is really pretty, but you wouldn't believe the number of really ugly houses we drove past. We were behind this plow for awhile. It wasn't really plowing, just laying down sand. Only about 5 miles from our destination we saw this spin-out. Thankfully we didn't have any problems until we arrived at our friends' house and couldn't quite make it up their drive. The combination of slowing down to turn into their drive and then the need to keep up speed to get up the hill just didn't happen. It didn't take much to back down the drive and do it over again.
Snowy weather and beautiful scenery always reminds me of Robert Frost's poem,
