Congratulations @Darth Lefty!

The MUP was yet unplowed after the 7+" of snow we got yesterday. I didn't feel like trying to pedal through that mess so I took new route to the clients office that I hadn't used before. This one was all on "emergency snow routes" which means they are the first to be plowed, so I knew the roads would be clear. It also would add an additional mile to my commute and a lot more hills, but I decided that was a fair trade off to not have to fight the unplowed MUP.

Knowing also that I would be riding on heavier traveled roads I decided to come in an hour earlier than normal. I'm glad I did. Traffic wasn't too bad, but I could tell that during rush hour this route would probably get pretty hairy.

They should have the MUP cleared by the time I head home tonight so I'll resume my usual course.
