ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA WELCOMES US WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES!

Saturday, January  31, 2026
Erie, Pennsylvania
4F, sunny

When we left Cincinnati today, it was -7F. We do not need to catch up to Erie weather so quickly.  Son Brian said that was the temperature in Erie on Thursday.  After a quick stop at Dunkin for more coffee, we were on our way home.

Columbus was not far away and by then it had warmed up to 10F.  The roads were dry and the traffic was not bad. We started to see more and more snow along the highway, but it was still 10F when we hit Cleveland.  Thankfully the sun was shining and there were very few flurries along the way. 
Columbus, Ohio, with light traffic

Ohio is flat! 

TK occasionally enjoys hands free driving. That is
an amazing feature--our car will pass another and 
return to the lane without any guidance.

We made a quick stop at Trader Joe's near Beachwood--sure wish we had one in Erie.  Cleveland is a hop and skip from Erie and finally we were approaching Erie.  Still 10F.  It is always a happy day to see that our house is still the same, with Son Brian's care.  

Getting closer to home!

Closer still!

Home Sweet Home!

After unloading the car we headed to Donato's for  a pizza, Janie's favorite.  

TK needed a long rest after all that driving!  So dear Readers, that is a wrap on our January adventure, exploring the world!


TK's Takes: Ohio roads need work.  Later, he asked, "How are we going to last 50 days?"  This was in reference to our upcoming October - November cruise that is 50 days--from Fort Lauderdale to the Mediterranean and back to Fort Lauderdale.  He may have meant how are WE going to last with all this togetherness...

I answered that we had to work on our communication skills.😂😂  Keep in mind that we are also cruising for 27 days in August - September to the British Isles and Northern European passage-from Copenhagen to Boston.  God willing

  1. Better question is, how am I going to last 50 days and 27 days! Also, there's a Trader Joe's in Mentor. Why do they get one and we don't?
