Typical 15 minute commute took 20. That wasn't because of road conditions or traffic...I had to go a longer route to avoid taking waves over my car. Got to my office and put my waders on. About 2-ft of water in parts of the parking lot. Rounded up all the stuff floating around. About 1-ft of water in my office. Opened the scuppers in my office wall (yes we have scuppers in our building) and let it start to drain out with the tide. Turned the fans on and went home to work at home. Regular 15 minutes home since the tide has dropped and roads are passable, though rock-strewn.

I'm sure that as long as you make it out of CT intact, that you'll just have miles of wet, not white roads ahead of you ;) :mad: :rolleyes: ;)

Telling people they fail because they don't have to drive to work... haha..

Working from home is a WIN!!!

Also "failing" with the WFH today (and yesterday). I take it when I can get it, even though it's a short commute. Can't beat working in sweats all day.

I also might have to take a long "lunch break" this afternoon to go check out Prospect Hill...

I - ahem - "Worked out" this morning for an hour on the snow..
I think I may need to "run an errand" and do some more riding in a bit... :)

Normal 50 min commute was 1:30 this AM....mainly the layer of slush that froze overnight with snow falling on top kept speeds down.
Made it intact though to the office and that's the important thing! Tonight I'm expecting 90 mins to get home as well.

Regular commute: 20min on the bike. Perfect sun. Just above freezing. A great day in Montreal!

I hate the f-ing Conga line of plows here in Mass. I got stuck behind one with a bunch of idiots that would not go around them.


Tell me why it takes 6 f-ing plows to plow 128 North where it is two lanes in both directions!!!!!!!!!!


WHY!!!!!!!!!!

This just PO's me.
Government efficiency at its best lol.

Work was short circuited by my kids snow day so we went skiing. The drive into the Catskills this morning was challenging but we made it. Then it snowed non stop making me think the drive home would be horrific. Out comes the sun easy drive home. Skiing was totally awesome!
