Same with me. Honestly, the worst commute I've ever had.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Wow the roads are horrible. I agree worst commute I've ever had.

 

[aauummm]

I'm currently sitting in a parking lot in Jordan Creek, and I need to get to Ottumwa sometime tonight. (work tomorrow) Every single county I need to drive through is under this blizzard warning. I could get to Johnston and ride this out with my in-laws, but the only way I know 100% is taking the interstate to Merle Hay.

Time to pull out the map to save up on phone battery.

So, did you make it to Johnston?

Perhaps a sign that I'm working too much....I had no idea anything was even going on outside.

:biglaugh::sad:

So, did you make it to Johnston?

It took me 45 minutes to go from the Kum & Go near Jordan Creek to the bridge over 80. A total of 2 hours to get to Johnston. But I got here.

*whew*

It took my wife and I to get from Westown Parkway to Ankeny 2.5 hours and we took University all the way across Des Moines to 2nd Street. It was crazy. There were cars on University right out side of the Valley West Mall that couldn't get up the hill going West. The best part is the people behind these cars were pushing them up the street, so they could make it up the hill next. It was a total mess.

I left Des Moines at 7am and everything was fine. Arrived in Isla Mujeres around 2 pm. What the hell happened? I hope my house is ok.

Just saw that there was a 30 car pileup on I80 by Waukee and a 25 car on 169 near De Soto. Must have really sucked!
