    Thruway still closed to trucks. Up in the Rochester area we are still getting pounded. I guess they are calling this Stella.

    Trucks are rolling through the tollbooth into NY from PA, but the wesite still says we're banned. Guess they want tickets...

    Those aren't small tickets either and if they end up in the ditch or hit someone else they're FUBAR.

    I am holed up at St Catherine's husky. Been here since yesterday 5pm.
    Plan is to cross in and take 219 south. Not sure if I should go yet. Appt 0400 and 600 km but 8 hour drive away. The parking lot is pretty empty, the cashier just said yes it opened apparently someone called or found out a while ago so everyone cleared out.

    Looks like the system is moving inland so it should stop snowing soon and the road crews have a chance to catch up.

    This is what I'm watching:
    http://www.thruway.ny.gov/index.shtml

    And I've got their twitter feed set up to alert me of new posts. I'm staying put until I can point to something official that says "go". Gotta CYA.

    Wonder if I could enter at Lewiston and take 104 to 78 down to 219....? I'm wondering how the truck stop is relatively empty when last night it was overflowing...

    Came into the Bronx from philly this morning and the highways are in good shape but once you get on the streets its a mess with piled all over and skinny lanes .
    They are working on it tho.
    Think ill call a uber when I'm done and take a Bronx vacation.

    As of the moment, there's still a travel ban on tractor trailers... tread lightly. Hoping this gets lifted later today...or my scheduled run tomorrow is going to park until it is lifted.

    Snow appears to have stopped for buffalo to western edge of thruway. I am optimistic I will be able to go later today so I can make my delivery early a.m.
