I’m shifting my attention to the Syracuse area. Realizing it’s really not much further than SWNY and the forecast seems slightly brighter there. Here’s hoping.
Almost more fun than snow tracking. Also fun to keep perusing random PA/NY towns to figure out which small town I’d camp in for day. Dewittville? Sure why not
I’m still rooting for western PA or NY, but it’s looking worse. Don’t think I can stomach a one day trip all the way into the far northeast - we’ll see!
Not looking forward to making the call on Sunday. Room for things to change back but things looked much better a few days ago. Karma for rooting for Texas’ downfall lol.

I’m okay with NC State beating Duke. They can go no further though. as a UVA grad of my generation, our rivalry is VT > Duke > UNC > everyone else and you’d make a compelling argument to stick JMU in the mix if we could play them more… think it would be good to get them in the commonwealth clash mix somehow.
I’m becoming more interested in NW Pennsylvania or SWNY as opposed to Ohio as my eclipse destination. Haven’t been to that part of the state and have never seen one of the Great Lakes. Maybe make it a 2-for-1er.
People have been jokingly suggesting an eclipse severe weather outbreak. Would be very funny if it happened. $1,000,000 to whoever gets an eclipse tornado photo
Ah, then you are ahead of me. Wouldn’t worry too much, though it probably won’t be a fun drive! Might be ignorance, but I really like to think I’d be okay driving the day of in the early morning hours. Guess maybe I’ll find out!
I think the only way to go is to leave the night before if you are driving to OH/PA. Even that might be tricky, but hoping it’s plausible. Morning of probably will be more frustrating than it’s worth even if you get there, lol
final totals pulled out of my sig - might've missed some flurries 2 nights ago but who cares about the T anyway
D.C. (Union Station) Snow Total N Arlington Snow Total
Total: 7.85" + 5T 10.5" + 5T
My hope with driving is that if I leave at midnight, drive with a partner who can drive back at like 10pm and trade sleeping hours, and just fully commit to a lost day, the driving will be OK. Avoiding daylight hours. Maybe optimistic still lol.
Plan is still to drive somewhere to the middle of nowhere in Ohio or PA the night before and try and find a spot to hang out. We'll see - am concerned about traffic and weather, but worth a try.
