Currently in Albion, NY and made 45 miles from Tonawanda today just getting used to the Canal. Had some challanges with our first couple of lock. Had following wind and could not easily control the boat to get tied up.
Started this morning with real fall scenes.
Then things turned rainy and then large wet snow flakes and fog. Difficult seeing the edges of the canal only 75 feet away. Finally had to stop due to low visibility at Albion not far from Brockport.
Our decks, dodger and binimi comvered with snow.
Weather forecast continues with rain, snow and thunder all night.

"snowiest" October day in Buffalo in the 137-year history of the weather service, said meteorologist Tom Niziol. You sure picked a good time to transit the Eire Canal. I hope you have warm attire and something to remove the heavy snow from the boat.I know you are looking forward to the warm weather in the Caribbean.
