Going from Florida to Erie and learning ALL about the 'LAKE EFFECT!'
I'm guessing they have no 'cold-weather clothes' to pack, but they'll need them come November!!!

Good luck to them - great school!

He’s originally from NW PA and his wife (my DIL’s sister) from near Cleveland, so it won’t be a total shock. I’m in the Philly burbs so this is about a 6 hour drive instead of a 2.5 hour flight, so we’re already planning for a road trip through Pennsyltucky.
