Never happened before... in NYS history. /s

I traveled that road many times in my 1967 VW. The windshield defroster was pitiful. I had to scrape the inside of the window with a scraper to see. I would like to say...don't try to compete with tractor trailers or crazy people who think the roads are clear.

Does caution exist...anymore?

I’ve driven through a couple of Lake Effect whiteout snowstorms on the thruway. You can get 30 miles down the road and it’s bare pavement. Just part of living there I guess.

‘69 VW, in my day, but in Connecticut. Can’t EVEN imagine one of those, in the winter, Upstate NY (the real Upstate, not Putnam County). I was a stupid teenager, but when there was a clear spot in the windshield bigger than a half dollar coin, I was good, to go !
