Reply to comment by newworldman1070 in Driving from VA to Buffalo on Friday.. Considering the forecast, what route will be best? by Attainted

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!
