People around here are driving with chains (both kinds)... on the freeway... at freeway speeds. There are chains all over the place on the roads and freeway. I saw one guy in Seattle today pick up a link-type chain and drop it into a pothole. Not a bad idea!

One thing I am noticing as I'm driving slowly through the unplowed, lumpy, wet, sandy, chunky-ice city streets, is that if you create a gap in traffic so those on the cross streets can turn in front of you, they are less likely to get aggravated and cause trouble. I noticed after I let people in front of me as we all crawled along, they would wave their thanks, and then they would let someone pull in front of them farther on. You're not going fast enough to make good time anyway, so you might as well do something to help reduce some of the frustration.

Seattle is going to be a REAL mess tomorrow morning when all the wet stuff freezes again.
