I’m sorry, when the weather is snowing and blowing enough to keep most traffic off the road, I still enjoy going out in the snow and going a little too fast in the snow. After driving a tractor and 1,2,or 3 trailers in the snow, it is really fun to do it in a car. I never drove 3 trailers in NY or PA though, not allowed except 3 trailers were tried briefly in NY in 72 on the thruway. I know 2 long trailers were never allowed in PA before I retired.

I have no problem driving in snow. Been driving in it since the early 1970. You and I know what REAL snow is. I-81 north or Syracuse is some of the WORSE snow weather you’ll ever encounter, and I drove that almost daily for years. In the past 30 years here in NH I can count on 1 hand the weather kept me from driving - with the exception of February 2015 (100” of snow that month here in Southern NH).
I started driving Watertown turns out of Buffalo ot through to Montreal neither Dec of 71 or 72 I don’t remember which. I do remember I do remember people getting in and out of their housed by their second story windows and having theit snowmobiles parked by those windows. There was a 35 mile stretck of route 11 near Chateaugay NY that was kept open for more than a month with dump trucks and payloaders because the snow bankswere about 12 to 13 feet high.
We routinely drove in weather almost every winter night that would have parked the Ice road truckers and mostly at 72 or so mph.
I’ve gone snowmobiling in the Tug Hill plateau area on road that is closed from late October to May. The tops of the telephone poles were only a couple feet above us and 25’ of hard packed snow below us.
