I had the same experience as Bob with the commute this morning. It was remarkable to be absolutely stuck in traffic after less than an inch of snow had fallen, melted, and evaporated. Hoping the traffic would subside, I actually pulled into an office park parking lot and worked in my car for an hour before continuing on. The traffic was no better for the wait, but at least I got a break from the tedium, and I had a quiet uninterrupted hour of work.
