Definitely. On the radar even right now you can see the precipitation system is literally bigger than the length of the whole country. It's a bigg'un and serious.

Thanks!

Gotcha, thanks again!

OP here, and yeah that's another thing that had me hesitating with that route, since once you cross the state line it's a little more flat, but the trade off is then through more/worse intersections since a good chunk is just outright back roads.

Assuming no accidents, I'm more than happy to sit in traffic than stay where I've been the last couple months lol. Though, haven't completely ruled it out for safety. More likely to just call the day early ahead of icy roads after I've already started the trip.

Thanks! Are any of those roads flatter or better plowed than 219? I guess that's the main thing I'm trying to avoid with 219 since I'll probably get hosed by the weather through the center of the state either way. That and being forced through small towns like Salamanca, NY where I'm guessing they won't be plowed well (maybe I'm assuming too negatively..?). Definitely agree on not messing with lake effect and trying to stay out of the bands though - will probably make a stop near or ahead of the southern state line to evaluate & go from there. Again, I'm from WI so I'm familiar with lake effect, but uh, man. I know the last few weeks were record setting for you guys, but I don't think we've ever even had 5 feet on the ground in WI, let alone in one go.

Btw, hope the blowing experience was an enjoyable one.

Thanks for the tips on that route! That's basically what I imagined for if I go that way - that if I get past Pittsburgh things seem they should be okay.

Thanks. Is the turnpike anymore flat? And do you happen to know when rush hour usually starts up around Pittsburgh?

Won't be watching the game, home is actually a bit more north haha. Good luck to them though!

Thanks! Didn't know about these, I'll look into a few.

Trying to get back home!

Thanks for the input. Looking at the other reply to your comment I'm guessing I'm probably just boned.

They're on their last tour.

It was a monster mash

These are not the carbon offsets I'm looking for
