First snow of the season

It snowed about 5" today by the time I went to bed, and it is still coming down. This is already a larger snowfall than anything we got last year. And with it came the requisite traffic fubar on the way home from work. My three mile commute took one hour and twenty minutes, and I left work an hour early in an attempt to avoid the predicted traffic.

I really wanted to go climb the mountain tonight in all the new snow, but the prospect of driving back through all that traffic (which appraently was still gridlocked at 7pm) dissuaded me. Maybe tomorrow.
