It was an interesting start to the day but we made it!
It was -2° and the truck didn’t mi ji
want to start. This is the second time at sub zero issue, both after two or three short rides with cold starts. It doesn’t seem to get enough charge with two 4 mile drives and a one mile drive with cold starts each time. (The diesel runs an electric heater to prewarm the engine before starting) With any luck at all we won’t see subzero again for many months.
The road was glare ice. You could skate on it a couple days ago! It had an inch of new snow but that hadn’t stuck to the ice so it just made it more slick. I put the chains on last night and it was well worth it. No problem getting moving. Driving down was a bright sunny day all the way to Albany. Then it was a mix of clouds and sun. Overall a great day for a drive. We arrived at our campground in Matamoras PA around 4. We have spent a bit of the evening settling in, getting things put away, the stuff we just carried out and dropped in the camper while packing.
The full Wolf moon tonight is a sneaky peek moon. I saw it twice, about 8 seconds each time, through a thin spot in the clouds.
It was a chilly walk with Skye while checking the moon. 17°. Should keep getting warmer over the next few nights. Might even be above freezing by Monday night in southern Virginia.
Skye is settling in too
