Yeah, extra safety is required today... Saw two accidents on the way in to work this morning. One blocked my normal route, and the other was right in front of my work place... We don't need to hear about how some member on here wrecked their car... If you don't think you should drive to work today, don't...

Busted my ass on stairs to the garage this morning Drove GF's RAV4 to work. Held the road surprisingly well. Say what you want but AWD and all season tires are a must in this kind of weather.
But I wouldn't touch 335i today, tomorrow and probably the day after tomorrow.

^ i know xi is like night and day compared to i in the bad weather but still have to take your time and not speed. I watched the news this Morning and saw a flipped H3 hummer on one of the roads. But he was prob speeding.

Wish I could have worked from home today... But the Army never sleeps... Plus only having a 15-20 minute commute to work doesn't give me much of an excuse...

Yup! Suppose to go up to 36 or something today so the rain will hopefully wash away some of this crap!

Most of LI had 20+ inches of snow on the ground already. That snow represents like 2-3 inches of rain. Add that to an inch of rain from this storm... How does that song go..?

Row, row, row, your boat...
gently down the stream...

It won't be a stream, it will be white water rafting... Except we'll be doing it in our cars (and SAV's)
