I've got a delivery tonight in Syracuse, NY. They're under lake-effect snow warnings up there until 7am tomorrow. Calling for 2-4 feet of snow with rates of 1-3" per hour of snow. I'll have a fun drive the whole way across. Coming out of Fairmont, WV, I'll take I-79 north to Erie, PA then head east across the NY thruway. This should be fun... NOT good luck, go slow, be safe

I'm the Big Truck...the Snow Plows and Saltshakers are following. :lol: I kept my cell phone off long as I could. My Boss at least had the decency to stick my furry butt in a brand new Pete with a new (whisper quiet) Reefer. "Git 'R Done" time again. :?

Well, the drive up yesterday wasn't too bad, except for between Erie & Buffalo - pretty much white-out for that section. After Buffalo, it was sunny skies. There was one string of fender-benders on my side of the highway, but traffic was rolling through it. Nothing major - 1 truck in the median, 1 truck rear-ended by a sliding car, stuff like that.
Syracuse got nailed last night while I was being unloaded. Pulled out of the dock at 1am and had no idea where the roads were - literally. I'm just glad that there was a service plaza 1 mile from the get-on ramp of 90 for me to shut down in. Just took a quick look at the weather - looks like that bad section from Buffalo & Erie is still sitting there. I've got to go to Rochester to pickup a load heading back to Fairmont, so looks like I'll have the same thing to run in. I thought about running across to 81, but with the weight I was pulling, I just didn't want to deal with the mountains if I didn't have to (grossing 79,500).

I've driven in that lake effect snow going across NY state many times, no big deal just slow down. I ran in snow all week long up here, 2 lane roads too, at least you have decent roads down there, not like these goat trails that we call roads up here
