Roads are terrible, visibility awful, up to 6 inches of snow expected

[JoeyZ]

Anyone know how 81 is? My road in Binghamton hasn't been plowed yet.

Where is everyone going before the game? Me and the Ms' are going up early to grab some drinks and something to eat. Never "hung out" up there before and don't really know where to go for decent food. We want to go to Mannys as well.

Faegans. Better get there soon

The snow is all but stopped now and is forecasted to be totally clear by game time. No problem! Just nature's warning message to Pitt fans.

Thanks, Cherie. That was the news I wanted to hear. We got about half an inch in Brockport, and it stopped several hours ago. I still might add a bit of time for my drive.

Joe, my buddy from Vestal called a little while ago. He had to go to a soccer game in Johnson City and said the roads are terrible . I'm sure all will be fine in short order but we're leaving at noon.

we are syracuse fans -the post office stole our motto -

nor rain nor sleet nor snow will keep us from watching jimmy b coach hoops and get drunk and have a dome dog-

granted they might have cleaned it up some but its still mostly ours

 

[Cowtown]

In my finest teacher voice, "Drive carefully out there."

 

[mountaincuse]

they have to fly in the day before so that removes most of those type issues

The crew at Syracuse is recognized as the best in the business when it comes to snow removal and rarely have delays associated with snow.

The have the world's largest snow plow if I recall correctly.

I always thought the largest were at each end of the Thruway. They are huge. Of course the one that goes over Tug Hill must have a monster blower on it to create those 20 foot banks.

Just got into town. Around 1:45 so not too bad. Couple of iffy spots and 3 or 4 cars off the road but nothing to worry about.

roads were fine except for the idiots going 50 on 481

Yeah, I hate it when people drive that slow.

 

[SU2NASA]

[rosconey]

[Madbiker]

Hope all those Florida football recruits up for today's game like snow and cold. Yikes.

 

[Marsh01]

Trip in from Roch was no problem for me but somehow there were three accidents along the way.

Just saw a couple cars off the road in ditches on 690 even though it didn't seem bad. Be careful.

That was known as "snow flurries" back in my day!!

That is so funny. Been out here 4 years, and the other night it was 62 when we went out to dinner, and I had a scarf around my neck and a light sweatshirt on. I pointed out to my husband did we ever think a day would come when 62 felt cool?

You weren't kidding. That place was packed!

Don't want to say "told you so", but...

You get in?

 

[Flacusian]

Syracuse, The DOME, the only college basketball venue where a Zamboni machine might be in order prior to the game! We will skate to 18-0 while Pitt gets victimized by a slapshot from Jeremi. Perhaps Ennis will be called for "icing" because ice flows through his veins as he commandeers the Cuse to a win.

Yeah. Barely. We got a drink at least. Couldn't sit for some food though. We went to the Mexican place and got some burritos. They have really potent margaritas too.
