Trenton, New Jersey to Atlanta, Georgia
Currently, the Northeast is getting pounded by a rare October snowstorm. Could you believe that Central Park had never recorded an inch of snow in the month of October? Me neither. We trek the 845 miles from Trenton to Atlanta covering 2 days, with an overnight stay in Roakoke. Will the weather be better for our trip down south?
DAY ONE
We awake in the morning with over 6" of fresh snow on the ground... but not a cloud in the sky! The snowstorm moving through on Saturday will depart overnight and by morning, high pressure will be moving over the region, giving people some pleasant conditions to shovel out in. We embark westward through PA upon freshly plowed roads and through Hagerstown before continuing into the high country of western Virginia. Prepared for some slow driving through the mountains as some areas got nearly a foot of snow, so don't be surprised if some areas are slow going. We pull into Roanoke in the late afternoon catch a breather.
DAY TWO
More sunny skies greet us as we depart back on the road, continuing to take the scenic route to Atlantia, slicing and dicing our way through western VA, into NC with a sidestop in Hickory as we bypass Charlotte, then onwards through the Greensville-Spartanburg area before our final leg into Atlanta. Clouds will be on the increase as well as we push through SC as an area of low pressure off the Southeast US coastline will start to intensify, but the rain showers should remain far enough to the east that we'll be unaffected. A fairly easy trip considering the storm that just moved through!
