They didn't seem as bad as last week because there is less wind this time. Still quite slippery now, so I wouldn't drive unless I had to.

Crowchild NW is surprisingly clear. And unlike last week the panicky losers stayed in the right lane.

No real issues other than Elbow/Glenmore.

I have worked downtown for 6 whole weeks now, and typically it takes 35 - 40 minutes to get home, with the worst being 1 hour. Today it took 2 hours. I already called a realtor last week, this is stupid.

This city is a joke, and Dave fat face needs to be thrown out of office. If I see his ugly grill on tv on more time im going to throw my tv out the window. Shut the F up and clear the damn streets, and stop crying that your doing everything in your power, because your not.

Alot of stupidity is what makes a bad situation worse. Example: the stupid moron in the Grey Nissan Pathfinder with fleet plates that was too impatient to wait for the next light, so she booked through just as the light turned yellow and blocked the EB traffic on 20th ave because she's too important. ARGH!

Took me about 90 minutes to get home tonight, normally a little less than a 30 minute drive. Not as bad as last Friday but still not exactly enjoyable.

Took me an hour and a half for what is usually about a 25 minute drive. I didn't think the roads were really bad enough to justify all the traffic problems - yeah, there was snow, but it's winter after all.

I was lucky enough to be driving a 5-ton today, and all i can say about drivers in this city, is they SUCK!! the reason i leave 20 odd feet between me and the car in front , is for stopping distance! not for some a-hole to sneak in and slam on the brakes!! the next person to do that tomorrow, i'll hit the gas and get them up and close with their dash board!! DON'T CUT INFRONT OF BIG TRUCKS AND SEMI'S!! you'll end up getting cut out of yuor car!
