Could someone give me the best route to get to Hamilton tonight? I'd really appreciate it; thanks :-)

Route we took last night back from Ithaca was 366 to 13 to 80 to 26 to 46 (which becomes 12B).  Follow 12B to the campus and the rink is on the right - you'll see it.  Some of these are kind of back roads and with the blowing snow, it was pretty nasty.  366 to 13 to 20 to 46 and 12B might be better if the weather is bad.

Go with the second one; you can't possibly get yourselves lost, and we'd like to have you all at the game ::nut::  for some good old fashioned fan screaming matches!

well u have a few choices.
i would say go however is easiest for you to get to 13N whether it is 366 like jgoodrich or not.
then you can do one of two things:

taking route 13 the whole way to 80 to 26 to 46 to 12b CAN be faster if you get good weather. it is windier.

OR take 13 to 281 to 81 to 20 to 12b

OR go by way of the thruway (longer)

I have gone all 3 ways in the past. I myself will be taking route 12 all the way up from binghamton :)  12 to 12b

When are people leaving? Maybe we can all follow each other (and get lost together).

The hitchhiker's guide doesn't give directions, but it does contain this advice:

[Q]A warning, though: no matter how indirect your route seems, do not attempt short cuts in bad weather, or you will quickly be up to your hubcaps in mud. How do we know this? Because we're stupid.[/Q]
