It wasn't... As a new commuter I am going to give the weather a chance to clear up. We just got about 4-6 inches of the white stuff in the Mpls/St.Paul area and because we're so close to spring the plows a re a bit slow. I caged it down my commuter route and it would have been bad news. No room, rutty, wet etc etc. I commuted 4 of 5 days since I began before the snow and once I get rolling again, I inted to go right up to the next scheduled snowfall, which I hope isn't until Thanksgiving and with a ll the experience I'll have at that point want to think I can just keep on going. MN got so much snow and such huge quantities when we got it that the roads were tough this winter. Narrow etc. I'll be back on the whip next week and from then on.
