Florida Jets - Road conditions Rte 95 Boston-Richmond
Ok, so what are the road conditions like on Rte 95 between say Boston and Richmond? Snow covered, ruts, or full pavement? Average speeds? Etc. Dont forget to say what area of Rte 95 you are commenting on.
Help me make my go/no-go decision!
My guess, snow coverd or ruts, slow driving for the most part.

I-95 is fine here in Richmond and I would be pretty sure that its OK at least up to Baltimore. 95 is probably the most well maintined highway in the US in inclement weather because it links so many big cities. I think that if you can get out of the Boston area down to NYC, that you'd be OK.
On the other hand, our local plans for renting an RV are totally screwed up!
Good luck!

I think Boston to Hartford is good. Its from Hartford to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington that concern me. Any first hand reports in that area?
Its easy to say just go, but if a short 2 hour drive turns into a 4 hour drive, then my first 8 hours would be 16! Not inviting at all. Its bad enough that we will be driving 4 days for 2.5 days of pleasure, I don't want to turn that into 5 days for 1.5 days of flying. But who said any of us had the least bit of sanity putting $10K airplanes at the end of $300 radios
It doesn't help that I lost the use of the motor home as well. But, it makes Superman very inviting. Less driving, more flying, and I'd have the motor home back. Dual slides, air conditioning, grill, food, DVD entertainment with surround sound, all parked within a 4 minute walk to the flight line.
Heaven is pale in comparison!
