New York DOT has an interactive map you can use to see what roads are currently open or closed – many roads are closed this morning because of flooding due to the remnants of Lee. Check the map before you head out on the roads!
In this day and age of 24 hour news networks and access to the internet from virtually every mobile devise, I am always surprised when people who clean the roads don't get more of a jump on it. It's not like we don't know when a storm is coming days in advance or anything.
