Readers:
I am going to support Lawrence and his opinions on the Thruway. I am
a student at State University of New York at Plattsburgh, and my permanent
residence is in Webster, NY. (Just outside of Rochester.) Needless to say,
I have done my share of driving on the thruway in bad weather.
I would suggest taking rte. 20 which parallels the thruway into
Albany. The pace is a little slower, and the road is well kept. The drawback
is that there are all sorts of little towns along the way.
Good luck.
