On my road trip last week, I learned of snowfall warnings in the West Virginia Mountains that is our most direct route home. Snowfall was for our travel day home. I'm still rocking the Summer Tires. Super. Decided to leave a day early, eating 1 nights accommodation fee. Travelled west of the Mountain route and ended up in Cambridge Ohio for the night. New problem. Most direct route home is through Cleveland, Erie PA and Buffalo. Warnings of Lake Effect snowfall. Ok gonna sleep on it, might just stay put for 1 more night. Next morning it's a no go through that area in the near future. Thought about heading East then North to Rochester and cross at Lewiston NY. Too far out of the way. Only other option was West, but that area was threatened by weather off of Lake Michigan. There seemed to be some windows of opportunities to skirt through the drama. Mapped a route from Cambridge West to Columbus, then North West to Toledo, North to Detroit to the Ambassador Bridge home to somewhere outside of Grimsby. Packed up quick and booked out. Just outside of Columbus we hit a squall, Temp. about 33 F. Reduced speed and rode it out for 15 minutes. No slush accumulated thank God or whoever you chose to believe in. Hit a minor squall outside of Toledo, no drama. Ambassador Bridge. Straight off the off ramp, no traffic on the Bridge, no one at any of the 5 CBP Booths. Never have I ever lol. 3 questions across. Big squall west of London where I was driving 80 km/h with the 4 ways on for about 20 minutes and then clear home. An extra hour 20 out of the way but home safe. Sorry to disappoint some of you lol...
