Home bound across Pontchartrain this time

Here's the view of Lake Pontchartrain from space. We are residing in the bottom center of the white area, which is the developed area of New Orleans. We arrived here six weeks ago by driving around the western shore of the lake on I-55. We'll return on the causeway across the middle of the lake, which is slightly visible as a straight line in the satellite photo above. They only charge a toll for southbound drivers, we'll use the free 24-mile long northbound causeway when we depart in the morning and avoid the usual morning southbound rush. The bridge is the longest in the world over water and can have spectacular sunsets to break the boredom of the ride.
Severe thunderstorms here last night, calm today. Blizzard in Minnesota. We'll give them a couple days to clean up Minnesota before the big polar vortex settles in. We hope to slip in through the weather window.
