You should be fine with the following caveats;
Heavy Lake effect such as occurs north of Syracuse (your from the area you know what I mean by heavy) = stay home because of white out conditions and someone will run into your rear end
Use a good weather service to plan your trips either Weatherunderground or accuweather as what we have in the Syracuse area is not necessarily what we have around us.
Plan to travel through snow areas non rush hour times as less people in a hurry non rush hour. If you have ever been near the Adams street exits in Syracuse this is what I try to avoid everywhere I go and since I am usually unfamiliar with the area I avoid rush hours
Stay on main roads for a while after a snow storm remember the big arterials are done first then local roads.
Your home will handle fine it is the other people who we worry about
You are so right, Darsben. We live in the line of fire from Lake Effect storms and white outs. Completely use to that and we do love the snow.
Neither of us are afraid to drive in the snow. Both grew up here and lived our entire lives here. Our only concern was the possible issues of how such a big machine would handle in such conditions.
Trust me, I know how to run into a snow bank. lol. Done that a few times in my driving life. Hubby likes to try and drive through them. Guess who the winner is in that battle? Yup, the snow bank always wins.
