Weather and Roads for Leetonia this weekend.

I didn't have any trouble getting from Leetonia to Cedar Run today. Traveling from Cedar Run to just before the narrows going into Leetonia the road was mostly muddy with slush in places and then ice in the Red Rock area. From the narrows into Leetonia the road was slush and ice. The part of the road that is plowed has cinders but there are still some slick spots to watch out for.

The temperatures will be dropping with highs in the 20's and lows in the teens for the weekend. That means everything will freeze up again. Some flurries are expected but at this point they aren't predicting much.

We advise all those coming up for the weekend to drive cautiously and be prepared preferably with studded snow tires and chains. The road conditions change quickly with temperature and precipitation. The ditch has had some visitors lately so be careful not to be a statistic. The problem seems to be when someone is coming from the other way.

I took Thor with me to Cedar Run today to show him off to Charlotte and Phil at the Cedar Run Inn. Charlotte couldn't believe how calm he is for a puppy and how well he gets around. He is fast becoming a popular mountain dog.

This is other mountain girl Lee logging off for now.

Lee, I appreciate you and Paula keeping us updated on the road conditions. It really helps us to prepare when coming up to deer camp!
