My husband and I had to drive to Massachusetts on New Year's Day. The shortest route to our destination was all on well-traveled state highways: Route 202 west to Route 119 south to Route 31 south in Massachusetts. We had had a snowstorm a day or so before, but the snow had stopped at least 30 hours before we had to leave, certainly long enough for the roads to be cleared - or so we thought.
But as we made our way through Hillsboro and Antrim, and down on through Peterborough to Rindge, we found the roads still quite snow-covered - especially in the town centers.
The intersection of Routes 202 and 119 was especially rough. Cars were swerving making the turn. And although there was clear pavement in the center of the lane we were driving on Route 119, the center of the road was still covered with white.
Eventually, though, the road began to improve. Dry pavement, and no snow in between lanes.
