Mayhem

A little bit of work today.

Today is the last day of the holidays for many Canadians, so many were packing up and leaving Whistler. Or so they thought....

Apparently there were several accidents (I only saw a burned out shell of a car being driven back to whistler and a Greyhound bus stuck in a snow bank by the side of the road) and it took nearly 1.5 hours to get back from work (normally a 15 minute trip).

I'd be guessing there was a traffic jam stretching for about 20km in total, although not all of it was standing still. The centre of the village was completely gridlocked. Amazing. Cars were parked on the road with lights and engines off.

Anyhoo. Tired. Goodbye.
