Winter Driving? What was the longest it ever took you to get home during a winter snowstorm? I once spent 7 hours trying to get home, a 53 mile one way commute.

Snow - Fifty minutes for a 16 mile drive. I know how to countersteer and know the route well enough that I only have to worry about rear-ending other cars.

Rain - Three hours. The normal route was washed out, the alternate route was long and when I awoke the next morning, both roads were totally gone as was my road and a hunk of my driveway. Sheets of rain and many inches of mud pose many of the same traction and visibility problems as winter driving ;)

Took me about 45 mins this morning to make MY 16 mile drive. But I made it! Now the question is, do I really want to try and stick it out til 5 or should I just go home now....?

Couldn't see route 9. I wanna yell at the NH DOT for not plowing Otter Brook. I hear the storm hasn't started yet. I say bail now.

Oh, I bailed right as the storm picked up around 1. Route 10 had 7 inches of loose snow on it. Bingham Hill was the best part of the drive (remarkably - it's usually my least favorite). Gilsum Mine Road was like a little 6 mile stretch of hell. I couldn't get into my driveway. It was pretty intense. I also want to yell at the NHDOT - where the hell are they?????!
