Born & raised in BUF, but have not lived there since '70. Drove up for a wedding, mid December 2016. Dreading crossing Pennsylvania, but it was fine. Once we crossed into NY, the snow began, and didn't stop, till we left NY state, going home.
I know doppler radar is much refined/improved since then but WTF is a Snow Band?? Never experienced anything like that before. I know where all the roads are/go, but how wide are they now? Can't see; pavement, curbs, signs..nothing! Am I on ; the road, the shoulder, someone's yard, just run over a large BILLS sign, etc.?
If I'm ever there again, and hear that snow bands are in the area, I'm not driving!
