RE: (erielack) Time to turn the calendar...

I often drove with friends to Binghamton from Scranton in my late teens
along Route 11, which followed the EL pretty much the whole way. (Beautiful
drive, I highly recommend it over I-81.) The motivator was that in the 70's
the legal age for drinking beer was 18 in NY (it was always 21 in PA), and
we had friends to stay with there.

Now Scranton is no sun spa by any means, but it always used to amaze me how
it would be sunny or partly sunny as we left home, but almost always cloudy
(and maybe rainy) by the time we got to Binghamton. One day when we left
Scranton it was 60 degrees and sunny. By the time we were in Bingo, it was
33 and snowing. When we returned the next day, the highs were still in the
60s in Scranton. It was like the weather had a consistent boundary somewhere
just south of the NY-PA border.
