Several Brown fans are leaving Friday morning for LP. I am planning on leaving Albany around 10am. Can someone post in the morning as to weather conditions and what police agencies are saying about travel? I am concerned about traveling on 86 after I get off the Northway.

1.It snows a lot in the High Peaks.
2. In northern NY it is what's known as just another *#%^*# **** snowstorm.
3. The DOT crews are good at what they do.

That said, If you are driving a Prius with bald tires, please do the State Police and your fellow travelers a solid and stay the heck home. If you are an experienced winter driver with a reliable car equipped with tires that can produce traction in winter conditions, then proceed on!

Not sure of your source, but the NWS is still saying 12-18 per the storm warning for Lake Placid, Good luck and safe travels to all the hearty souls who head out.

I thought it was 9 (Exit 30) to 73 to Lake Placid?

Many moons ago (78), I was headed back to Clarkson in similar conditions. I stopped at a State Police barracks to ask about road conditions in the Adirondacks.

Beware ice dams that block streams that cause flooding on the main road.

Drive safe. It's snowing in the NC right now.

Good Luck to Cornell, Clarkson, Harvard, and Brown on the Whitelaw! Take in the experience as it truly it a bucket list endeavor. For the travelers, be safe!

I noted my source - "NWS-"-the National Weather Service. Also, I am local. Roads are clear this hour - clear as in wet but NOT snow covered- thus includes the Cascade Rd into LP from Keene Valley b

Spitting snow a little in the Dacks right now but the roads are bare, just a little wet.
