Emergency personnel are using snowmobiles and other emergency transportation to aid stranded motorists. Snow removal operations are taking place as soon as vehicles abandoned by last evening's heavy snowfall are removed from the Thruway sections. In general, Thruway travelers across the state are advised to drive with caution and be alert to changing winter weather conditions. All operators of passenger and commercial vehicles are advised to reduce their speeds in accordance with safe winter driving techniques. Motorists should also maintain a safe distance from other vehicles to prevent collision if traffic ahead slows or stops.
Information is updated as conditions change.
