OMG! I just did something I have never done before.... I aborted a commute after 1 mile. Forecast is for 50F with 20-30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts. I hit one of those gusts as a crosswind and was pushed from one lane to the other in the midst of a newly formed snow drift. This is on a 5 lane heavily traveled arterial that was empty... thank goodness.
After getting the crap scared out of me I turned around and headed home. I must be turning into a wimp.

ugh
I was hoping for a 50 mph tailwind.

These weather conditions are barely tolerable with clear roads.
