5:30 AM - Work up to rain in Salem. We had breakfast and quickly decided to pack up and see if we could make it further up to RT 81. Our goal was to make it to Staunton before the rain changed over to snow and ice.
We made it - Just in time! As we were getting close the temps began to drop fast from 39 to 32. Went to check in - 15 min. later temps dropped again, now it was sleet and freezing rain with snow to follow by the time were were unpacking the car.
Humm! Lunchtime - 3 places nearby: 11:30 - first choice already closed, 2nd choice just a short walk up the hill - a few cars (2 parties inside, one waitress) just made it - enjoyed a quick lunch (it appeared that they were going to close right after we left). We bundled up and began our trek back down the hill.
5:00 PM storm is winding down but pretty nasty out there. Good thing I planned ahead. Dinner for two is served.
