The Big Move: Step 1 Complete

We have arrived safely in Boston.

Update 12/19: Here is a recap of the day

Thursday's itinerary: Karen flies from Boston to Buffalo. Neil picks Karen up at the airport, and they drive back to Boston together. 

This was the weather before I left Boston. No snow, or thoughts of snow, at all.  Usually, when I'm asked how the weather at home compares to Boston, I reply with "about the same". Sometimes, that is completely false.  This is the weather that Neil was contending with, while I was naively contemplating whether I should even wear snow boots.

An hour and a half later...

We stopped at the rest stop in Port Byron, NY. Had there been a hotel right there, we probably wouldn't have continued on. According to Neil however, the weather and visibility was still much better than the day before.

An 18-wheeler and a pickup truck were leaving the rest stop while we were contemplating leaving, so we joined their caravan. We followed that 18-wheeler (pictured below) for at least an hour, until the snow stopped and the road conditions improved. And we ended up making it all the way to Boston!
