Time to relax, day dream and enjoy time to yourself? Mindset? I tend to day dream when driving.. and the time passes so quick, but I usually drive Highway 9 or 89... so they are hassle free. (Except the tunnel in Zion)

Is that possible in city traffic??? You guys work 8 hours and spend so much time commuting. I spend 5 mins max. No wonder I can be on the net so much. :haha:

Living in the boonies I hardly know what its like. When I go to St. George though its getting crazy. I have spent some time in those long freeway lines in/near SLC in the last couple of years though.

ttttoooo fffrigggiiinnnn ccccold....-4, yes, minus 4 degrees this morning on the Green River!

[rockgremlin]

Yup, 15 degrees here.

Took me 90 minutes to get to work.

High today here in Ada: 76, just an hour ago.
Forecast high tomorrow: 28.

Sounds like I should consider myself lucky. It only took me an hour to do a 20 minute drive.

The problem in my area (West Valley) was that the plows didn't get out. I woke up at 3:30 to get a drink of water and the snow had stopped by then. When I left for work over three hours later 4700 south was totally snowpacked. One pass each direction to lay down some salt would've totally solved the problem. We haven't had winter for so long the plow drivers have gotten lazy.

Mine took about 25 min instead of 15. It's hard to pedal fast with all those layers on plus there was some ice!

I ran to the UPS store, to return a DVD, and to Harmons to get watch batteries and Goo Gone cleaner. 3.5 miles each way, about 50 minutes total....of course, it was on my cyclcross bike!

PS:
My new commute goes from the upstairs bedroom to the coffemaker, to the office. I don't "commute" anymore....

[Cirrus2000]

Roads? How about taxiways... Vancouver rarely gets weather like this - we don't have enough plows for it!

I was going to say I remember your wife had a business from home.

This morning. I swore it was 5 when I took the thermometer off the railing.

In front of my work

Someone (who moved to a place that doesn't get snow) gave me his old studded tires, though I couldn't get the rear tire on and still have brakes since the rack messed things up. They are cheapy knobby tires with small screws screwed into the largest knobs.

My husband made another version. He took cheapy knobby tires, screwed screws through (so the points poke on the outside) then lined the tire with old cut up neoprene waders to protect the tube.

Thats HOT!...I mean cold! :crazy: :lol8:

My condolences. Okay, VA is beautiful and green, but it ain't Utah. May airfare be kind and let you visit often. Have fun playing in the Appalachians.

I'm looking forward to the Appalachains, as well as the smokies and blue ridge and shanendoah (sp?)! I've enjoyed playing here, but the snow and the absolute ruggedness of some of the state isn't my cup of tea. I'm not too into the 'extreme' stuff.

Well I was in SLC for meeting on Monday that ended just in time for the storm to hit. So I headed for Denver.

I arrived at 11pm Wednesday night.

Wahoo, as I passed thorough Green River it occured to me that Grey hair biker lived ther but NOOOO I couldn't wait to see the inspiring streets of Laramie so I pressed on.

Do I win the crapiest commute contest?

I am going to say Yes you win. I have done the Spanish fork canyon strech of highway 6 a few times in the snow. That canyon gets pretty crazy in a heavy storm.

[greyhair biker]

I'd say you win the crappiest commute trip just for being able to drive through the armpit of wyoming! -and any of you are welcome to stop by and say HI :haha:

I said WTF and rode my motorcycle to work today. I was pretty warm, but my Ipod didn't fair so well. I found that it shuts off around 19 degrees. I will have to plug it directly into my accessory plug, the battery cant handle the cold. No tunes on the way to work blows... :lol8:
