We got out of town early enough this morning - 7:30. There was some very light moisture in the air. I wanted to drive first because it looked like we might be in freezing rain by Maryville. Ha! I was driving in snow by the time we got to Clearfield. On Hwy 2 east of Bedford it was almost a white out. From Maryville to St. Joe we were in and out of snow. After St. Joe it was mostly heavy rain all the way past Topeka. Once we made it to Oklahoma it was mostly dry but cloudy. We didn't see sunshine until western OK. Yay! Sunshine.
We have stopped for the night in Shamrock TX, so we should definitely see Amarillo in the morning. The plan is to stay on I-40 until Flagstaff then head south to Phoenix. Tonight's weather channel tells us Flagstaff is to get 6-10 inches of snow. I thought we were leaving that behind!
In the meantime, Kari is talking about gardening this weekend in Portland. No wonder. They just showed the temp there and it is 55. Maybe we should have headed NW instead of SW? Should we duck south at Albuquerque tomorrow or stay on 40 to Flagstaff? Stay tuned.
Good news is that Shamrock now has some nice new hotels to choose from instead of the very old one when we were here last time.
