The drive from the Motel 6 in West Virginia to Erie was at times, in near whiteout conditions. Rather than travel north and drive east along Lake Erie, we went via Pittsburgh and I-79. Lake effect snow warnings were in effect. Not only were we getting lake effect snow, a polar vortex created a system that hit us from the west.
When we encountered white outs, I used my weather radar app to make sure it was a small band of snow showers. Just in case, we made sure to know where the hotels were along the way. It nearly came to that!
