    Default Monday morning's commute - snow

    If you're sitting at home reading this in your PJ's thinking "ya, I got lots of time, I can have another cup of coffee" I have some information for you:

    Put the cup down, skip the rest of breakfast and get out the door unless you plan on spending half your day in traffic.

    I came in at 4:30 this morning partly because I expected the roads to be bad / slow but I've never seen that much snow piled up on Deerfoot. Hopefully they get the plows out before the morning rush because it was nasty out there. Drive safe people.

    Just go to work on time as usual on the 301. But I predict that anyone comming down after 7 is going to be pretty late.

    The 3 lanes on deerfoot southbound quickly become 2 lanes and back to 3 lanes again. Hold your lines properly people!

    Went from Cranston to the Inglewood area, left the house at 6:10, was here by 6:45

    Other than avoiding the jackasses who cant stay in a straight line and the rig pig specials flying by at 130kph. , it wasnt that bad of a commute today.

    I fear tonight will be a different story however.


    Sure would have been cool to ride the snowmobile to work in this though.

    Just keep an eye out for the usual people driving 1/3 the speed limit and taking up 2 lanes, and you should be okay.

    I LOVE driving in this kinda weather...

    I just hate the crappy drivers that hold traffic up...


    But WTF PEOPLE. Why do so many people just drive in the middle of the road in communities... Then make the snow track/lanes in the center of the road

    Awesome drive to work this morning. Nothing better than driving and AWD car w/winter tires on snow covered roads. I much prefer todays drive than the salt/slush/gravel mess that we normally have to deal with.

    As an SUV idiot I would like to say that I am only going the limit in straight lines. The real idiots are the ones doing 20 on pretty much clear roads.

    Fucking Road rage has already ruined my day.

    Jeez, I was driving a SUV this morning over to the UofC and back and didn't feel the need to drive like an idiot. Did see other idiots in SUV's, subies and all other types of vehicles. Also saw an idiot on a mountain bike on 24th Avenue NW at the main south entrance to the UofC - wiping out and swerving all over two lanes must have been normal for him. Really, just leave the bike home today.
    Will fuck off, again.
