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.
