Snow

As most of you know, it's snowing out there. Since the forecast wasn't great, I left the store around 1 pm, just when it started to come down. I figured I'd beat the rush home. No such luck. It usually takes me about 1/2 hour (sometimes less) to get home. Today it took a full 3 hours. Traffic was intense, roads were messy, visibility was awful. Fortunately most of the trip was more boring than anything else (creeping along at 3 MPH), but I'm really glad to be home... Anyone who's still out there, please be careful!

It also took me 3 hours to get home. 7 miles in 3 hours. The road rage has subsided.

Glad you got home okay though late!

Sorry I wasn't here when you called. I'll try to give you a call tomorrow though I'm not sure if you'll be super busy or snowed in (or both :)).

I *really* feel your pain. My commute took less time because I started on Beacon Hill...

Ugh. :-( I'm glad you're safe and sound. I left Framingham at 1:30 and got home at 5. Poo.

Wow. I guess I didn't do too badly, then! (I didn't have road rage, just intense boredom. I think my car was bored, too.)

I don't expect to be snowed in, might be outside shoveling though...

Glad you didn't get stranded there!

Wow. I guess it was bad everywhere.

Yup, it was. It took my brother over 2 hours to get home (in Derry, N.H.) from my house and it took my housemate many hours to get from Boston to here.

I feel your pain! Last December, I was 9 months pregnant when a snow/ice storm hit Seattle. I went to the aiport to pick up my mom. It's normally a 20 minute ride in each direction. It took me 5 hours from the time I left home until the time I got back. and boy, did I need the bathroom- darn baby sitting on my bladder! :)

Wow. I'm surprised you didn't stop somewhere... or was that not possible?
