1/1 anyone else get stuck taking 87

[SkiDork]

We went home on 1/1 and took The Northway from Exit 20 -> 87S all the way to Rt 17, then on to LI. It took us 10 mins longer than usual.

The reason? We skied till 4 PM (since it was a pow day after all) and didn't leave K until 6:30 PM. The drive was absolutely uneventful.

Those that left early to "beat the storm" got hammered, no doubt. They lost out on a pow day, and sat in traffic. Double wammy.

Did not leave to "beat the storm" with our noon departure. At the time, the forcast was for the storm to continue through the night into the morning of 1/2. Had work and school to deal with so my preference was traveling during a day time storm as opposed to a night time storm. Missing the pow shots was bummer for sure, thanks for reminding me! Got plenty last weekend though, plenty of untracked to find.
