Snow squalls

Yesterday we set out from Swarthmore and had an easy drive along the PA turnpike- occasional flurries but road clear and dry. We located a Roadfood restaurant west of Columbus - Henry's - and headed for that, arriving about  5:30 pm. Henry's was a classic place, utterly unpretentious with basic, very reasonably priced food, famous for their pie. Ellen had custard and I had peach. Certainly good if not 5-star.

But when we got on the road again, we were suddenly enveloped in a snow squall. Total white-out. We managed to get onto a side road and waited. It stopped snowing, we went on, it started again. We had intended to aim for a motel in Indiana, but the driving was so tense, we pulled off in Lewisburg, OH, near the IN line, and found the Super Inn, a very down-scale motel. One room left, and we took it. Really basic motel. The room was cold. Ellen slept in her clothes and jacket. I had my heating pad,  thank goodness. We got some sleep. It was hard to get a hot shower - we settled for lukewarm. Today is very cold but bright. Road is fine.
