When I got to Barrow, snow and ice covered the roads. Cab drivers drove minimum 40 mph, but probably closer to 50mph. No exageration factor here thank you very much. Now that it is heating up (keep in mind it was negative two degrees this morning) with the sun is really burning down, the ice and snow have begun to melt on the roads creating a nice muddy path to drive on. My cab driver yesterday sat nervously in the front of her seat and did not go over 10mph. She was constantly on her walkie-talkie talking to other cabbies about how bad the roads were.....as George Costanza would say, "AM I IN BIZARRO WORLD HERE JERRY?"
The roads are ideal conditions right now.....slightly muddy with even path. Now is the time to drive 40 or 50! Let's not wait for the roads to ice over to feel safe to travel at a decent speed.
Let me also point out how one female cab driver cursed every time we rode by a whaling boat because those men were out whaling instead of home fixing the roads.
