The snow came fast and furious in Wayne County making roads treacherous and leading to problems for drivers all over the area.
It started snowing around 9 a.m. Wednesday and even though everyone knew the storm was coming our way, drivers still ended up going off the roads and getting stuck just one day before Thanksgiving.
The first big snowfall of the season and the kids hit the hills near Hamlin on sleds. It wasn't all fun and games for drivers on the roads trying to get traction on Route 191.
It was so slick, a plow truck had to push a food service truck up the hill. Just a little farther north, a state trooper was directing traffic, making sure vehicles didn't have to stop and get stuck coming up the hill.
But for Taylor Wells, heading home for Thanksgiving, going down the hill on Route 590 near Hamlin was the problem.
"It's been unreal. I got stuck behind tractor trailers. I didn't think I was getting off the highway. I'm almost there. I've got 2 miles then this happened," she said.
It was a mess on Route 191 near Newfoundland as well. A wreck toppled a utility pole and closed the road down while crews worked to replace it.
"They were caught off guard. I think a lot of people didn't think this was going to happen, but here it is," said George Gedrimas of Greentown.
At Dutch's Market just down the road, plow trucks were doing what they could to stay ahead of the snow. So many people still were coming for what they need for the holiday.
"Just trying to keep up. I plow this and about 25 other places, tough to keep up," said Jake Schafer.
And in downtown Hawley, all the snow may make for a pretty scene. But there's still shoveling to do in front of homes and businesses.
"It's coming down fast. It's a little too early for me. It's only Thanksgiving. I was hoping we`d make at least until Christmas," said Dan Valenza.
The school districts in Wayne County closed for the storm.
Route 191 re-opened in the Newfoundland area late Wednesday afternoon.
