Mine wasn't bad either. Left at 7:20 from the SE, picked up 1/4 tank of fuel "just in case", and got to work in the NE about 8:15, 20 minutes later than usual.

Worst day I have ever commuted to work. Took Two hours 30 minutes. Half of the teachers are not here plus we might have 15% of our student body as all of them take public transit. Yikes

Crazy, must have been 10 people in the ditch on 84th from 17th Ave down to Glenmore.

After getting onto Glenmore though it was pretty empty.

I live in Signal Hill as well and I'd love to know the route you took.

Yeah I am not going to go to the university today, I'll just stay at home and likely read cpuck/watch highlights/listen to the fan960 in order to procrastinate until 8pm where I will have yet another day with minimal work accomplished!

Glad I ain't the only one!

Although, too bad this didn't happen later tonight, I'd have a good reason to skip work so I can finish the last 2 periods of the Flames game

I've beaten that one. A few times during the winter 06/07 it had taken me 3 hours to commute from M-Towne to work at the UofC and from there back home. One week I did that twice. I was ready to kill someone. I don't miss it one bit. A little bit of snow and all hell breaks loose.
