Gov. Andrew Cuomo decided to keep the New York State Thruway open Wednesday despite the snowfall.
While the wet snow caused all kinds of headaches for drivers, many at the Ardsley rest stop off of I-87 told News 12 that getting out of town wasn't as bad they expected.
AAA advised against leaving after work on Wednesday because traffic was expected to be heaviest at that time.
Drivers say the roads seemed less crowded in the afternoon, perhaps because many changed their plans.
Once the sun set on I-87, the slushy roads turned icy, creating treacherous driving conditions.
Experts say more than 41 million Americans are traveling by car this weekend, compared with the 3.5 million traveling by air.
