Left work at 4:15 p.m.
Arrived home at 5:33 p.m.
Distance between work and home: 12 miles.
I just spent an hour driving at a slow crawl through RTP (four miles) become some bumfucks don't know how to act when there's an inch of snow on the roads. Once I turned off Alexander Drive the drive became much more sedate and I was able to drive the last half of my commute in about ten minutes.
If there's snow on the road, people should automatically assume that there's ice beneath it instead of driving like idiots, swerving into other peoples' cars, and tying up traffic for hours.
When I crept over the I-40 overpass, I saw that traffic was at a standstill. I think at that point the road is at least six lanes, so that's really accomplishing something. I heard on the news that the interstate was bumper-to-bumper.
Considering the fact that North Carolina has no real mass transit system other than those hoopty buses that get shot up in the ghettoer parts of Durham, this congestion gets to be a real problem.
