In today's weather, you're brave. The Schenectady / Poughkeepsie segment is bad. I hike the appalachian trail and surroundings.
I took the 401 from Detroit to the 416 fork, and it was bad. I stopped counting the semi that jack-knifed or the cars in the ditch. Monday though, it was clear as mud, and almost absent of snow on the road. What a contrast.
