Drove today for the first time this year.

We wound up getting about 7 inches of snow, but with the 40+ mph winds the drifts were pretty deep in places. (One side of my roof nearly has no snow on it, the other side has about 4 feet. lol) The back roads leading out of my neighborhood had not yet been plowed, which is a guarantee that the MUP hadn't yet been cleared either. Had I gotten out of our neighborhood I'm pretty sure the only streets that the plows had gotten to at this point would be the main arteries, of which riding on them is sketchy on a clear day let alone when the road is still slick.

Add on that I spaced the fact that I had gotten a flat tire on the way home yesterday and hadn't yet fixed it, so I would have had to spend even more time repairing that before I could leave. Coupled with how slow riding through unplowed snow would have been, I probably wouldn't have made it to work before 11 AM. So I sucked up my pride and drove.
