Not me...been at work since 6:30am. Man, that was the best drive to work ever. I felt like a badass being able to drive all over the 401 and not worry about getting a ticket for not changing lanes! lol...ebraking into my parking spot was fun as hell too. I just hope it's cleared a little more for the drive home because there will be more cars out at that time.

I've been at work too.. I must say I haven't had this much fun getting to work in a long long time.... Autocross skills make for the drive to work to be enjoyable

At 7:00am OPP reported 247 accidents, that was enough for me to stay home. Work might have been better though since shovelling sucks.

I'm another lucky one that had to go into work today.
What is normally a 30 min drive for me ended up being almost 2 hours. 5:45am-7:40am door-to-door

25km commute from Ajax to "Malvern Area"

I'm just itching to fight the traffic on the way home 2nite, really I am...
