How long?

2 hours to travel 4 miles... that's how my commute went this morning. Apparently there was a particularly nasty accident that closed down the major artery between my house & work. Given that that road is already over-travelled, the secondary roads were at a standstill. It actually took me 1/2 hour to backtrack, as I had to take some time going down part of one of the secondary roads. I've just heard that the accident has been cleared and sand put down on the road. I'm going to give it a couple of hours before I try again. At least I have the ability to work remotely.
