sissydear Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 we've never been to this show. What you just posted is why. We are southerners... don't drive in that kind of weather. It always sounds like such a good show, but nearly always has this kind of weather for it. Maybe one year the weather will be freaky and we can make it. edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg11 Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 My issue is a 5.5 hour drive could turn into a 8 or 9 hour drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemorepatty Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Can't speak for Canton but I think I can hear the snow melting as I type, I've heard the highways are all good. I'm in Dayton, friends in Wilmington and Cincy all say they are great. I think it's only the back roads that are still bad, I'm thinking the white stuff is over at least for a little while:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Im in the middle of it!!!!!!!!! South central Pa. I have a few feet,,,,thats right,,,,FEET!From the last storm,and the current one,together.I have piled up snow,8 feet high,and am running out of space. All surrounding highways closed,governers orders. I will be heading out that way,tommorow,if there are any survivors. How about a show report?Many cancel?many leave? Hate to do the drive,if there isnt going to be anyone there. With the exception of Edna,and Weldon,if you cant handle 18 degrees,you aint gonna go ice fishing with me!!!----LOL---(Id put a nice heated bob house for them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg11 Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I canceled, I'm sure it will be fine to drive the main roads tomorrow. I just cant deal with it bringing a 4 year old. The drive could extend past the 6 hour mark if snow or drifts create slow traffic. Griff yep... You're in the middle of it, its really bad between PA and Delaware. Roads clear down in Louisville with about 6-7 inches of snow on the ground. Dont get sideways on the highway again with all those wood marble cases in the truck!

b-80 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 It would be a huge advantage to move this show to a decent time of year. I for one would attend but not in the winter months. RK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutz4lutz Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I will be in Canton by 3PM tomorrow. I'm bringing dozens of pieces of Akro glassware as well as marbles. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg11 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Chris, room trading goes late, until everyone goes to sleep. You might even find a poker game going on until 4am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 You people that have made it to the show are definitely to be commended. The roughest I've had it have been rain white-outs, hellacious micri-cells and tornadoes a couple times in my Summer and Fall back 'n' forths across the country many times catching the Vayder's show in Minneapolis, Bert's show in MA and then I forget OK on the way back or one of the three TX shows(Houston, Dallas or Ne Braunfels). That would be in the Fall. Then in the summer I've drive from CA to Amana and on to New England again spending the summer and catching a show in Texas on the way back. And that doesn't even count time times bet. 1988 and 1996 when I was caretakling for my Mom in Mass. and I'd drive to OH or Chicago for a show. I was insane! I did 925 miles only once but 725 in a day twice. I like the 350 to 500 range these days. Buick has 292,000 miles on it. I think I got off the track here but there should be a Show Award for the person who has accomplished arriving through the roughest weather with factoring for distance.
