Amidst the relentless fury of the lake effect storm, a gripping video captured the heroic efforts of a tow truck extracting a massive truck stranded in the snow.

The NYS Thruway Authority, facing the challenges posed by the wintry tempest, reported the collective commitment of plow operators, traffic safety personnel, mechanics, emergency dispatchers, and Thruway Authorized Tow Garages tirelessly operating around the clock.

Despite their determined efforts, a commercial ban remains enforced on I-90 between exit 46 and the PA line, as well as on I-190. The ongoing struggle against the storm highlights the collaborative endeavors to ensure safety and maintain crucial transport routes amidst the winter onslaught.
