Let's be honest, no one should be complaining unless they have to drive Route 2 in the snow

Are you kidding me? What an idiotic move on your part. You not only create a dangerous situation for yourself and the other moronic driver, but you make conditions dangerous for the innocent motorists around you. I really hope one day a police officer watches you do this, and gives the guy behind you a "following too closely" infraction and arrests you for road rage, because that's exactly what it is.

The fact that this gives you pleasure is very disturbing.

I have to agree with Kid above - that is ridiculous.

Kudos to CT drivers this morning though - everyone around me did a great job keeping distance and the roads were pretty slick I thought.

After taking the drive from Trumbull to Danbury and back this morning, I can see why people take off work when its snowing. Made it fine from my house to Danbury and back, and I got stuck in front of my own house trying to pull in the driveway, go figure

I agree. Everyone was taking it slow and nobody was following anyone too closely. Nice job to the drivers out on the road this morning.

I wish I could live where you guys live. The roads were maniacal this morning northbound I-95 from the NY border to Stamford. All 3 lanes were bumper to bumper for a few exits, then when breaks in traffic opened up cars were cutting each other off left and right. I just barely missed hitting a car that cut across 2 lanes quickly to get off an exit. Deplorable.

mels, I remember you saying that there was always some sort of accident/traffic jam around exit 10. I literally laughed out loud when traffic drew to a standstill just past...let's see...EXIT 10 this morning! It went ALL...THE...WAY...INTO...HARTFORD. For the fortunate people that do not have to drive Route 2 every morning, that's about 8 miles. EIGHT MILES.

CT folks were afraid of snow? Wow. I never thought CT folks were going to be afraid of snow since it's in the north and it always snows there.
