It's because winter is coming.
Drove to work this morning. Looking forward to an early morning drive. Somebody is having a bad day though since my path (5 lanes one direction) was shut down due to an accident.
So my 50 minute drive was a two hour drive since it only takes a half hour for traffic to get that way around here. Stop and slow. However, my day is a breeze compared to whoever was in the accident.
Prayers for them.
