[AT] Speaking of Snow - Way O.T.

[Mike Sloane]

If you want to avoid bad weather, stay away from Buffalo and the 
Southern Tier - "lake effect" snow is no fun to drive in. My opinion of 
Mapquest directions is not high - they have got me all turned around and 
lost more than once. That's my opinion, of course, and you are welcome 
to take any route you think is best, but over time I have discovered 
that the "shortest" route isn't always the best or quickest route. Jim 
Becker could probably tell you stories about the weather in western NY 
state.
