How was your drive in today? (A timeless thread!)

[billski]

Not too bad. 17 mile commute, usually 35 was 45 mins in about 5" of newfallen snow. School delay kept most of the newbie snow drivers off the road. Didn't see any accidents.

2 hours plus in the bus not at work yet, be late today. Real question is how long did it take to get to the snow hills today for the few who can today have fun A zoners.

 

[St. Bear]

Maybe 2-3" in my neck of NJ, medium density snow on top of pure slush. Drive was great since the schools had a delayed opening.

Thankfully I work in IT and can work from home a few days a week. So snow days are default avoid-the-traffic days.

About 3" at my house up to about 5-6" at my office (about 10 miles North of my house) - usually takes me about 20 minutes with a stop at the coffee shop drive through on the way, took me 40 minutes today.

It's almost like the State of CT didn't bother to plow out in the 395 corridor in NE CT The town roads were NOTICEABLY better than the state roads during my commute

Platty's picture on facebook looks awesome!! Im still on the train. We have at least 5 inches by me in Westchester.

3 or 4 inches here. My 5 block commute was OK, except I discovered that the shoes I wore are not entirely waterproof. Rather, they're entirely not waterproof. Fortunately, I brought dress shoes with me, so I just have Damp Sock Syndrome for a little while.

20 minutes late, traffic bad in Nj on the bus, have to go shovel few wet.inches of snow for cheap ads boss in lower NYC NOW.

My "commute" is normally about 20 minutes, or a tad less. Took around 30 instead today.

 

[hammer]

Rt. 3 is a mess so it's a work from home day. Commute is normally 30 - 45 minutes depending on traffic. I work from home most mornings to avoid the commute anyway.

The DW had to take PTO, office building is closed (Hanscom AFB) and support contractors are forced to take time off when this happens.

Most frustrating part is that we were planning on going skiing today but getting there would have been tough at best. Ironic...can't go skiing because of snow.

 

[Cornhead]

Barely worth shoveling, maybe two inches in Binghamton, NY, roads were just wet.

 

[Puck it]

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.

My 25 mile commute took an extra 20 minutes. Southington to Hartford was just wet roads, east of Hartford and Manchester(rt 384) it was like they forgot to plow it.

 

[Geoff]

My telecommute was slowed down this morning. I had to go out, broom 6" of snow off the cars, and move them.

Fail. No wheels moving = no report!

Another fail.

 

[timm]

I take the train. Usually clean off cars and shovel car before I leave though. Woke up to find that our street has not been plowed at all. Wonderful. Between my house and train station, very few streets plowed or sidewalks cleared. Normal 15 minute walk took about 35. Spent that 35 minutes reflecting on my decision yesterday not to take today off for some now unfathomable reason.

Agree! I've got patients coming into my office right now saying how cr@ppy the roads in NE CT still are, and then I look at DOT cams from MA and RI (less than 10 miles from my office) and I see that their roads are just wet

At least they're plowing. I didn't see one plow on my way in, and the roads definitely could have used it!

Same.. But I went and made some turns before my first call...
My 2 minute drive to Hunter was slippery...
