Reply to "The BIG E in West Springfield, MA. Jan. 26th & 27th."

Thanks Dotty for sharing! You are great.

I really wished I could have made it somehow. Again, not to be. We got a decent storm off of Lake Erie and my girl wouldn't even go to the local RV show in Hamburg. She hates traveling in winter. I have traveled all year around.

 A little story for anyone with time...

 We were heading home one year from Charlotte, NC many years ago. We were heading up I-79? towards Lake Erie hitting really good snow fall. As we turned along Lake Erie to head East on I-90, we hit some really major snow. She wanted to stop but what good would that do? I pushed on not knowing that nearer to home had received 5' of snow! My truck had good snow tires and she kept rolling without issue. Up in the distance I could vaguely make out someone stranded near the side of the road waiving like crazy. Of course I'd stop to help. As I got right on him I noticed he was a State Trooper. He asked if I was crazy? He said "don't you know that this road is closed?". I said I had only stopped to help him! 

 I should have known as snow was actually starting to blow up over the hood as I drove and I kept pushing harder on the gas. But my ol' Chev truck just kept going fine and I was so close to home. He ordered me off of the thruway and we had to stay the night in Fredonia. More snow kept coming so I took off in the morning on side roads doing 5 MPH until we made it home. She announced, "never again!". I don't know what was the big deal?
