219 from Ridgway to Bradford can get real fun in the winter time.

I’d take 81 to 15 to Buffalo.

I-81 is gonna be closed by tomorrow morning. Already has a CMV restriction on it all the way up to I-80 from the MD line.

Looks like it currently. As long as the storm doesn't get hung up on the mountains and decide to stick around for a bit.

I thought it was supposed to start raining at some point? I don't think it will be closed tomorrow.

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

I'm assuming you'll be sitting in traffic for hours, maybe wait til Sat

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.

From Winchester, take 522 up to I-70 to I-76 west to 99 north to 322 west to I-80 west to 153 to 219 all the way to Buffalo. Or, 81 to 15 to 147 to I-180 to 15 to I-86 to I-390 to 36 north to 20A west to 400 north to I-90 north to I-190 right into Buffalo.

153 is a terrible road when it snows, especially for someone who isn’t accustomed to driving on twisty mountain roads.

Agreed, especially since the 219 doesn't get any better once you hit the NY line (at least until it turns to 4 lanes near Springville.)

NY takes far better care of its roads in the winter compared to PA. We travel into NY a fair bit and I’m always amazed a the difference between the two states. PA is very reluctant to use salt where we’re at, all we get is sand, and no pretreatment.

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.

You can also to the I-70 norht to I-76 west to I-79 north to I-90 east. Takes you towards Pittsburgh and up by Erie. Watch out for that lake effect snow!
