CSX goes right into Oswego (Fulton Secondary Track). Also, as mentioned the Montreal Secondary passes right through the worst snow area. Also, in addition to Jordan Spreadersthere are a number of ex-CR plows in the area and a flanger or two.

I saw evidence of a Jordan spreader on CSX north of Watertown, NY today. I know there is one stationed at Watertown.
CSX runs right through the area that's been in the news lately - It more or less follows I-81 from Watertown to Syracuse. Pulaski - which got plenty of snow and news coverage - is right on the Montreal Secondary. As far as I know, things are running along OK.
