95 in Southern CT was clear of snow. It was the morons driving 5 mph that gave me white knuckles. Of the anger variety.

The green/red/silver lines weren't too bad from Copley to the convention center in Boston this AM - too bad I didn't look at my convention guide as I showed up at 9 looking to walk around all the vendors booths before the course i'm taking today - problem is the vendors booth areas didn't open until 10! DOH!!!!!!

It was pretty hairy by me this morning. It didn't look slippery, but it was like an ice skating rink out there. By far the worst I've seen the roads in a long time. Seemed like the road crews were completely unprepared.

I don't know why they'd have early dismissal, may as well wait for it to pass first...

It is bad out there. I turned around after an hour of cursing and yelling at people. The Jeep would have made it to Norwalk but I was sick of the traffic. Time to start a fire and do some work from home.

i keep a stash in the garage but its a little low, hence he's going out for more..

i've always been afraid to store firewood in the basement, old wive's tales about it bringing bugs in.. u ever have issues?
