14 F, heavy snow
This morning we could see the weather had gotten much worse, but we headed optimistically north--only 4 hours and 270 miles to home! It took an hour to get through Columbus, Ohio, but after that the traffic thinned out and we made good time.
There were plenty of accidents and the highway varied from snow covered, ice covered, or wet. I am so glad we are driving a solid truck (Chevrolet Avalanche, which deserves a photo in this blog!).
The snow was heavier by the time we got to Cleveland, Ohio, about 12:45 p.m. We decided to eat at our favorite deli, Corky and Lenny's on Chagrin Boulevard off I-271. We sure love the mish mosh soup (rice, noodles, a matzo ball, a kreplach and sometimes kasha)! After lunch we were energized for the last hundred miles home via I-90.
Home at last! I was so glad that we cleaned house before we left because it sure looked cozy and comfortable and roomy to us! We are unloaded and I already started laundry. Two suitcases are already put away.
I am very grateful that we had such a nice trip and now we are home, safe! Thank you, good family and friends, for reading this story!

(looks exactly the same as the photo I posted when we were leaving in January and I said it was a reason to head south. And here we are, up north????
TK's Take: This was the worst weather we ever had to drive home in.
