Yesterday, we finally got a real taste of winter. The snow came down heavy and it was blowing. I think we had 6+ inches. Driving into work at 6:30 AM was not super easy, but with my winter tires I did not slide around. I also was not a speed demon.
In Monroe County you can see the different levels of snow removal in each town. When I drive to work, I drive through at least three towns: Penfield, East Rochester (an independent village) and Perinton. Penfield, by far, has the best snow removal. They use salt liberally and roads are clear even if there is a lot of snow and it is cold. Perinton at times seems as if they don't bother plowing and just put sand on top at times. Every time we have a lot of snow, I dread driving in Perinton the most.
It seemed as if the snow would never be cleared out looking through my office window but by the time I left to go home the roads were almost completely clear.
Yesterday was the first day where driving was an issue. Still, the experience wasn't so bad.
Today, some breaks of sun, colder, and a little more snow. Roads look generally clear though.
