Diane woke up Today and went down to get a cuppa tea. She looked at science sheet of ice everywhere. A couple of minutes later she walked out again and found out that a tree had just fallen across our driveway. More accurately, it just gently lay down but it was sure blocking our way out.<\/p>\n

We were finally able to get on the road at about 10. It was good that we waited because they were still inches of ice on most of the roads. We ended up having to go up and around to get to Route seven so that we could head south. things didn't clear up until we hit the New York border. It was a long and slow trip but still pleasant. By the time we got ostego New York the temperature had risen crazily.. It was 67 degrees ! (It had been 27 when we left vt)<\/div>\n
