Rochester, NY airport information needed

<p>I have lived in cold and snowy areas. I guess things are different in Canada - maybe even upstate NY - but I don’t know anyone who has used snow tires. Most of us do really well with A/T tires. I would not worry too much about snow storms. The roads will be well plowed unless there is a major blizzard. If there is a major blizzard all bets are off and the airport is likely to be closed or have major delays so ground transportation is not a concern.</p>

<p>I would be concerned about leaving a car for 9 days. In addition to a scraper, I have put a broom or small snow shovel in the car when I expected major snow fall. If your D livings in Syracuse, I am sure she will be prepared. Thanksgiving is a bit early for this concern even for the Rochester area. Yup it is alway possible for a car battery to run down. There will be the same temperature and same risk if the parking is uncovered or covered. This is a pretty frequent event at airports and it will be only a minor nuisance to arrange for a jump start.</p>
