It was an adventure getting out of my own driveway this morning but I managed to get out eventually.
The roads in New York Mills were fairly well plowed as were the ones on Oriskany Boulevard.
Traffic on Oriskany was moving at a good pace, although there was lighter volume than what I'm used to seeing between 7:30 and 8:00am.
My biggest problem today came when I tried to merge onto 790W and while driving slowly I still slid quite a bit.
Only one lane of 790W was clear and thanks to light traffic I felt fairly safe until I tried to merge onto North Genesee and entered a slick and slushy off-ramp.
Smith Hill Road was not too bad. I assumed that I was going to get stuck at some point, but front wheel drive helped me through the rough spots.

I know salt is needed to prevent ice from building up on the surface of the roads. However, why does the DOT insist on putting salt down while its still snowing???? All this does is make it more difficult to drive. Salt changes the snow to a thick slush that is harder to drive in/on than plain old snow. Once it stops snowing then put salt down to break up the packed snow and then plow that off the roads. Wouldn't this save money for the towns/state?
