I'll start with one of my own. I only work 5 miles from work. I left about 1:00pm and it took me about an hour to get home. Ironically, I decided to go for a run in the snow when I got home (because its awesome) and I traveled 5 miles in about 40 minutes... 20 minutes faster than it took me to drive...
So share your stories in the comments section. I'll post some of the best ones, and enjoy reading everyone else's!
