I vowed years ago never to go through there after Halloween, unless someone else is driving and it is for a funeral. 

:-}

I had to rent a trailer to move my daughter from Rochester to here last February 28th.

 

All I had was my 2006 Charger Daytona for a tow vehicle. It's rated for 3800# & has trailer brake control, but the U-Haul trailer had no brakes. I got caught in white-out conditions on 104 as I rounded the SE corner of lake Ontario. Some 19 year old yahoo in a Jeep Cherokee rear ended the trailer. The trailer was totaled & there was $2500 damage to the back end of my car. I was still able too proceed & they closed I-81 right behind me just as I got on.

 

I logged about 750,000 miles hauling livestock W/43' "possum belly" trailers in the midwest in the late '70s. That trip last February was the worst I ever had to make.
