Danville, Pennsylvania: Big Change In The Weather!

Boy were we lucky today. After a great breakfast at Eleni’s Restaurant we headed out and really had a terrific ride along I-80 all the way into Pennsylvania.     Eleni’s Restaurant South Bend, IN The high ceiling morning fog disappeared and pretty soon we had the greatest blue sky. However, coming higher up into the Appalachians, we noticed a grey cloud way out east. At first it didn’t seem that we were coming any closer, in fact it seemed to  retreat farther away.  But then all-of-a-sudden the clouds seemed a lot darker, the sun disappeared and we were hit by wind gales from the north. We had our radio tuned on a local channel, when we heard the weather man mentioning freezing rain and snow!                                        Christmas Trees – ready just in time Snow sleet! A few more minutes we saw the first sleet landing on our windshield. We were 2 miles away from Danville, PA. Over the next 3 minutes it started snowing like if it was still February. We turned off the Interstate and saw the sign of a Super8 right ahead of us. The decision to stay wasn’t even a choice. We just pulled right up to the entrance and got a room. By now we had 2 inch of slush in the parking lot. We just couldn’t believe how fast this weather had changed. Reading comments of yesterday’s posting I see that SASSY (Denise) had been only a few hours behind us when she pulled into Elkhart,IN around noon. We would have had a great meeting with her if she had been slightly earlier. Also, it could have resulted in another chance meeting on I-80. Thanks for dropping by!
