What a rude awakening as we left Niagara, enroute home. Momma Jo left Steve behind with Winnie and headed home with Daphne. Now, these 2 have never had the best of luck with weather and today was no exception. An unexpected winter storm swept onto Hwy 401 just past Port Hope producing white-out conditions, closed highways, zero visibility and over a foot of snow in a few hours. The girls sought refuge at the Big Apple, just before Belleville (a 30 minute drive took over 4 hours!). Thank god for a bathroom and great apple fritters!

Messages were sent to Steve: “Stay at Port Hope!!!”. With that, Steve pulled into Port Hope once again but this time correctly pulled into the RV area. Before too long however, the truck parking area overflowed and Winnie was surrounded by the big guys!
