Whether it has begun falling, or not, it's wise to reduce the numbers of cars on major highways during a storm. No one knew when it would start. We had been told we'd only have an inch or two by this afternoon, but we had 6 or 7" by then. It's worse to delay the commute for people and have them dealing with a driving snowstorm. I can guarantee you they weren't concentrating on work much anyway, worrying about what kind of conditions they'd have on their drives home.

For those who don't have to drive in it, I can tell you it's quite exhausting, always making sure you're not going to run over a pile of slush and fishtail, or worrying about the driver next to you doing something stupid and sliding into YOU!

I didn't even drive in today. We've lived in the North for over 30 years, and I've driven in snow, but I do not like it. My hubby was sweet enough to drive me, and a work friend in this morning, and come to pick us up when we got out early. And it hasn't even gotten as bad as they predicted, yet. We're supposed to get another 8" or so, with high winds, overnight.

Ahem. YOU are in the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts.

We are speaking of CONNECTICUT. I suggest you consult Weather.com or similar site.

The Storm will NOT hit Connecticut until AFTER rush hour.

The Storm is only on the EDGES of Connecticut as we speak, according to the latest radar.

There is PLENTY of time to get home in a normal evening commute.

But PajamaGovernor called it hours early ANYWAY. . .
