These road trips always seem to come in bunches, and again, we're having back to back trips. We're retuning to the Great Lakes/Mid-Atlanticish area, heading to Williamsport. It's a trip that will cover 1317 miles over the course of about 2 1/2 days. The first two days will see us traverse 513 miles at a rate of 64 mph. IT's going to feel almost like Spring with cooler temperatures invading much of the country, so that will make for some nice driving.
DAY ONE
The first day of driving will likely be quite nice, with clear skies highlighting much of the trip as high pressure takes hold in the center of the country. After we enter Missouri near Joplin, temperatures will begin to drop off, as the area has been covered with clouds for the past several days, and that low over the area was cold core, and since it stuck around for so long, it might as well leave a bit of cooler air in the center and eastern parts of the country. It will be good driving, with the windows down. Of course, the days drive will end in East St. Louis, Illinois, so be sure to roll those windows back up. And lock the doors.
DAY TWO
I can't say as we've ever ended a day mid trip in Ohio, but today is that lucky day, as we'll find ourselves in Burbank, Ohio, which is just west of Akron and decidedly safer than East St. Louis. The day will be warmer overall, but not as hot as our start in Oklahoma, as a cold front begins to move south towards our route. We won't have to deal with it on Wednesday, but hey, it could be an interesting conversation starter when we stop for gas.
DAY THREE
The front will advance to precariously close to our route, with the best chance for shower activity sneaking in along the stretch of highway running between Youngstown, Ohio and Clarion, Pennsylvania. We should be moving quick enough that we will stay ahead of the storms for the rest of the day, and arrive in Williamsport a couple of hours ahead of the cold front.
