Saturday night it dumped a lot of wet, sticky snow in large flakes as if it were January and not early Spring. I cannot say I was surprised though, it happens every year though this covering was a bit thick.

As I drove the “back way” to Pittsburgh from the north, I couldn’t help but find the scenery beautiful and relaxing in a way. I am so glad I plotted this road course out using topomaps last year. I avoid the rush hour traffic on weekdays and it’s always quite and interesting to look at. I can make it almost the entire way into the city before a car gets in front of me.

The real kicker is that it takes me about 5 to 10 minutes less than if I would have gone the main route on the highways. LOL
