anyone from syracuse area??

Well I'm going to be attending law school at Syracuse university for the next 3 years. Heres the problem: i never thought id leave the NYC area and had opted to not go for the xi. I did not get the sports package however so i do have all-season tires. I here it snows almost every day and when i went to visit i found the university area to be very hilly. Am i in trouble or is it manageable? How is the snow removable ? I got an apartment about 2-3 miles from campus so the commute would be very short.

I'm an Orangeman...it's been a long time since I was up there and I had a Jeep in those days. It snows a lot...I remember dorm windows being iced shut.

Sorry to say but I think you might be in trouble. My sibling goes to school there and a few of the main roads are very steep. Reminded me on San Francisco.
Also, it snows there a lot. Snow combined with steep hills= NO GOOD.

Hr. south here in Bingo, being as Syracuse does get a lot more snow then here but they are always prepared for it so I wouldn't sweat it..and the city isn't that hilly either..
