Just because I'm stuck awake making sure the fire doesn't burn the house down, here's yet another traffic post.
This is a traffic camera taken at the ever-so-useful Seattle Area Traffic Home. Note the timestamp, and note all the traffic. This is typical of most roads in the area tonight.

Looks like the single set of brake lights headed north bound (or what ever the direction the other side is headed in) is all by him self.
Yeah. I think it illustrates the problem here: commuters. This is one of Puget Sound's three biggest problems (traffic, cost of living, hippies).
The news stations have been inundating the populace with "stay home" all day. Since nobody really left their houses today, the traffic was negligable...even though the ice has really only gotten worse.
