You know, with everyone talking about snow and ice, it's been near 80 for the past couple weeks (well, week and a half) down here in Austin.  Cold front did come through yesterday and temps dropped to 60.....

Good luck to those driving and lets kick some Harvard behind tonite (trying to keep the forum clean..)!

Actually, I think it's exit 8, isn't it?  The usual Ithaca exit, whatever it is.  It's the first left on to some street.  At the end of the road take a left onto Park Street, and at the end of that road turn left onto 79.  I think it is about 3-5 miles.  It's not much shorter, so on bad weather days it isn't worth it.

Of course, now the weather is fine here.  Rained earlier but cleared up.  Not sure about the surrounding areas, though.

You can still play in the snow.  Well, ice, really.  The zamboni dumps lots of it in the parking lot outside Lynah. . .

it was BAD yesterday in syracuse so if you are driving today, be glad you were not doing it yesterday. never seen this city so illprepared for a storm. the snow did fall fast....81 was not plowed until like 3pm... and then the ice came. as for now, as i look at the window...it is raining and the snow/ice on the lawn is melting. beware though if the temps start to drop.
drive with care.
oh and there are two left hand turns u have to make. the first is actually the second left after u get off 81 if you could a parking lot or something. it is the left right before the bridge. then u go a ways and have to make a left at a stop sign when you cannot go straight anymore. making a right would take u into whitney point. hope that makes sense...
LGR!

We got lucky with the weather, as it turned out.  The biggest worry was that the high winds might blow us off the road.

It was snowing in Ithaca about an hour ago, but (goes over to the window to check) it's settled down to flurries.  There seems to be a dusting on the non-paved ground.
