I want to second this statement. I came through the 20" snowstorm that hit
Western New York the Wednesday before Hockeyfest. It was at night, and I was
travelling route 17 in from Erie,PA. I had asked some truckers on my CB how 17
was. One responded, "Only a damn fool takes 17 in the winter!" I guess I'm a
damn fool. They do not plow out there and the first 26 miles is two-lane.
Now back to our hockey newsdesk, Mike....
