Brockville, ON to Scranton, PA

On the road again, we left Brockville, ON just after 10:00 AM.

Highway 401 between Brockville, ON and the 1000 Island Bridge

We crossed into the United States via the 1000 Island Bridge, mid-way between Brockville and Kingston.  It is actually two large bridges, one in Canada and one in the U.S.

In New York state, Interstate 81 winds around the east end of Lake Ontario.  In winter, the wind off the lake often produces heavy snow in the "snow belt".  So as we traveled along we noticed more snow.

Then, we encountered a worrisome amount of snow that B. Glee thought was excessive.

But then we got to the real snow belt ...

But, after about 50 kms we began to drive out of the snow and see some of the scenery of south-western New York state.

By the time we reached Pennsylvania, the sun was shining brightly.

Then it was on through the hills of northern Pennsylvania to Scranton, the home town of Vice President Joe Biden.
