Did everyone else have a shitty drive this morning?

[10sec]

Good gawd, that commute sucked so bad this morning. Kirk Rd was completely shut down from Pine street to Wind Energy pass, north and south. Took me 1hr and 10min to drive 9 miles and that was with some back rd knowledge to beat a few backed up stop signs. I personally saw 2 accidents just from people trying to turn around on Kirk and either sliding into the curb on the other side of the road or just smashing into that car that slid into the curb on the other side of the road.

North Ave between County Farm road and Rt59 was a shit show. I saw 5 accidents in 3 miles.

Streets were slick in the subdivision, so I was cautious on Lake ST/20 going east.

There was 1 car off the road West bound side of Lake St between Mclean and 31.
There was 1 car off the road near Villa Olivia ( just west of Naperville Rd on the south side of the street ).
and 1 accident... looked like an older jetta rear ended a small SUV ( same area near Villa Olivia ).

Other than that, streets were decent

Was fine for me

I have no idea how there were 2 really bad accidents on Kirk, the road felt fine to me, felt like it was just rained on, barely slippery at all. The back roads and subdivisions were definitely pretty slippy though, I was sliding around mine on purpose on the way out of it. Sometimes you just gotta YOLO. If only I knew what I was getting myself into, I would have turned around and stayed home.

Had today off so I got lucky, school got postponed an hour so they could get out and salt before the buses left, they never cancel school in this town

3 multi-car piles ups earlier on Rt 59 between 127th and I88.

2 additional accidents (single car) on I88 heading east bound.

Got on 294 N and it was 65 - 70 mph as if the Moses parted the Red Sea.

Drove 80mph the whole way to work at 4am-ish just before it started freezing raining. Roads got fucked quick

Working from home. Roads are like a parking lot according to WGN.

I'm on a corner lot and some jagbag took out the street sign in my lawn this morning. Subdivision streets were a train wreck, but main roads weren't too bad.

My usual 8 minute commute was about 11 minutes today. Pain in the ass!

 

[Outlaw]

Apparently it was mostly south that had issues. Fox Lake Rd was a bit slick, but once I was on 12 it was business as usual.

I just had an idiot that was trying to turn left Lake Cook road and wouldn't at least go halfway to make it to the median. Instead he wanted all lanes both directions before he would move. After 7 minutes of missed opportunities I went around him because the ass would not make a move.

Then I had another idiot with like 200ft between him and the car in front of him, who was braking hard every time the car ahead touched the brakes. But as usual, he tried to speed up when I moved to pass him.

 

[Outlaw]

That just sounds like dumbshit drivers though lol

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

I saw at least 10 accidents on 294 south getting on at Ogden. Saw a few in the side streets, one happened right in front of my and a Dodge took out a light pole.

That just shows the main highways, if I zoom in it's just RED EVERYWHERE. So many people will be texting about how their drive sucks.

Butterfield road in Wheaton/Glen Ellyn was basically ice. I saw 3 accidents and a car in the ditch in my 5 mile commute to daughters school. I have some snows on and it was probably the worst I have seen it.

 

[Tight Lines]

One of the worst drive ins to work I ever had. Just thankful I made it safely.

 

[Kensington]

Looks mostly south. Not a single problem on my way in this morning. No accidents seen, and my tires never broke traction at any point.

Same

 

[blakbearddelite]

It's odd. I had zero issues this morning. I left the house at 7:25am and no issues taking Irving Rd east to Medinah. But I saw a few people posting on FB about how awful the roads were.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yes

It was probably the worse driving experience I have ever had. It was fine till about half way to work. They must have salted pretty well in Glen Ellyn. As soon as I hit Wheaton on Butterfield road it was slick. As I get closer to Warrenville it got worse. I passes about 10-11 accidents or cars off in the ditch. Then I saw two accidents happen in front of me in the opposite direction traffic. Then saw a car driving that looks like it was hit on the three sides I could see. I don't know how he could even be driving it as the wheels looked like they were about to fall off.

My 25 minute commute turns into a 30-35 minute commute with bad snow or rain. Today it took me 50 minutes. I was somehow pretty lucky that I didn't have cars near me at all. I had safe distances in back and in front for most of the dive past Wheaton. A couple time just steady cruising the car suddenly would skid. The rear would come around a little and the car would shimmy.

I guy I work with has a Grand Cherokee that is less than two years old. He has had three accidents in the car so far. He lives real close and shows up late today. I asked him if he made it ok. Sure enough, he rear-ended someone on the way in. His girlfriend. Who is also on his insurance policy.

Dude has to be worried his insurance company is gonna drop his ass. lol
