The NYS DOT pre-deployed tow truck services on I-81 South near Lafayette to quickly respond to disabled cars in anticipation of poor road conditions.
According to the NYS DOT, your Tuesday morning commute will likely be slick and sloppy.
If you do have to travel give yourself some extra time, go slow and don’t crowd the snow plows.
