ALBANY, N.Y. - This first, big snowfall really makes it feel like winter in Albany, and some would say Christmas came a few days late.
But what looks beautiful on the trees and homes can mean a lot of trouble for drivers on the road, and crews did their best trying to keep up with it.
Paula Tetrault told NEWS10 her driving skills for this type of weather came back fast.
Having the right vehicle is important too. Bill Shaver has one of the best, a yellow school bus which he uses as a personal vehicle to help his wife get around.
On the bright side, most schools are closed for this holiday week and many people are off from work, meaning fewer people on the roads at least initially, which allows crews to get a jump start on cleaning all this up.
