Since we have snow in the forecast for today I am sure you may be wondering how this will impact our trip. Well, it looks like the snow will be finishing up at about the time we are scheduled to leave, at 8pm. We could have anywhere from 3 to 6 inches when it ends. The storm will be hitting Boston after it leaves our area. If we have to wait a while we will just stay at the school, I have to have a meeting with the band anyway and can do that here.
Remember, we will be traveling on highway's all the way down to Florida and it will be clear skies ll the way to Orlando. The temperatures will warm up significantly as we go south. The highways we travel will be well plowed by the time we get to them, with plenty of salt and sand throughout the Northeast.
And for those of you who haven't been on any of my overnight trips, I monitor everything and am on top of the entire travel situation on every trip. Our school district runs a rigorous inspection on the busses when they arrive before we can even load. I am overly cautious and I stay awake through the entire night watching the road. I know and trust our drivers. I always know the outside temperature and am on a continuous lookout for black ice conditions when we are anywhere near the freezing point. If I ever feel we are in any kind of an unsafe situation we pull the busses off the road and wait it out. The safety of the entire group is the most important thing at all times, overriding absolutely everything. Please do not worry, we will take care of everyone.
When you see the snow today, don't fret. The most impact it will have on us is getting to the school to drop the kids off.
