The winter trip has begun. We left Kemptville at 01:30 on January 31. The roads and weather was fine until we hit the snowbelt between Watertown and Syracuse (Hwy 81). At times we were the only vehicle on the road. Others we were able to follow a snowplow. After about 2.5 hours we cleared the snow and all was fine again. Thank goodness we didn’t have the trailer with us.
