Getting Ready - Friday 01/21/11

Time for our trip West is finally here. After a fresh dusting of snow last night, we started out at 8:45am. Road conditions along the way were good. We travelled along 195 and the NJ Turpike in NJ, rt 276, rt 76 and rt 70 in Penn., WVirgina and Ohio. Traffic was flowing at the posted speeds, with the speed limit in WVirgina at 70. Once we reached mid Penn., snow showers lasted most the way to Ohio. Temps fell in the low teens with a very strong breeze. Temps tonight are going to be below zero. We covered the 521 miles to Reynoldsburg, Ohio in about 9 hours. We arrived around 5:30pm and we were having cocktails by 6pm. Tomorrow our goal is to be in Columbia, Missouri
