<p>Yes, she is driving from Syracuse, and no, she doesn’t have much in the way of experience driving up your way. She did not have a car the first 2 years and was abroad second semester last year. I don’t think she really drove when the weather was bad last year, so this might be a first. The driving instructors in the south do not give winter driving practice!</p>
<p>Are there any off site parking lots that provide shuttles to the airport. We are in a large city and we always park off site. Many of the off site locations have covered parking. I did not see anything for Rochester when I googled, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything. I guess if she can not get a spot in the deck I will tell her to park in the yellow lot as their are shuttles and she will not have to walk with her luggage and laptop like she will in the long term lot.</p>
<p>I am sure I will have my eyes glued to the Weather Channel during her 2 travel days. Just to be on the safe side, I made her a hotel reservation near the airport the Sunday after Thanksgiving. If her plane is late or the weather is bad, I would rather her stay overnight than drive back to school in the dark. She does not have class on Monday until 1:00, so she can drive back in the morning. Because she is alone and has no experience driving in snow, I would rather she wait and drive during daylight hours.</p>
