Well, woe was you, if you tried to drive on Mae Anne last night, anytime after 6. I was stuck at the exit of Walmart (to get on Mae Anne) for an extra 10 minutes, because so many cars couldn't drive up (westbound) that little grade, they were sliding all over the place. I was behind a riced out civic with a big exhaust, I could hear him gun it when he tried to merge onto Mae Anne - big mistake, he ended up sliding across the lane, and then coming back to the right, to the curb. I knew his car was going to be stuck there then, because he missed his opportunity to get a proper running start.

Then driving to work on I80 eastbound this morning, I saw numbers of tire tracks into the median, through the snow & mud, between McCarren & Keystone. Lots of the tracks started into the median from the westbound lane. Also, an NHP & tow truck were towing away one of 2 cars that were in an accident this morning. I would have thought drivers wouldv'e known better to take it easy.
