I've taken 95 from NYC to Hartford a bunch of times and that place can be a parking lot on a normal day during rush hour. How rotten for you to have to sit through a snowstorm like that.
Our traffic was that bad around here when we had Hurricane Rita. 15 hours for what was normally a 3 hour trip!!Somehow I think it would have been even more terrible in snow.
I have been known to take the long way around just to avoid a traffic jam. I'd rather drive for a longer period, but keep moving, than crawl along on the shorter route. I've been known to have a little roadbeast come out in bad traffic.![]()
Well the snow made things INCREDIBLY bad on that stretch of road. What was normally a 3 line highway somehow turned into a 4 lane road since you couldn't see the road beneath the snow. At some points it would go down to a 2 lane road.... and by the exits.....which were all closed or blocked by the time I got to one because of all the trucks and cars that got stuck, you'd often see 3 lanes of cars just parked on the side of the road because they gave up.
What made it even worse? about 2 hrs in I had to go to the bathroom, but between the slow traffic and the fact you couldn't actually exit the highway....it made things...interesting.
Do share.
