Working off Hill this icy Monday?

We're in for a cold and icy Monday - not a bad day to snuggle your laptop and enjoy a warm caffeinated beverage. If you can't do the work from Victrola/Vita/Vivace thing, here are a few handy bits of info to plan your trip. Me? I'd bus it so you can at least relax a little bit on the long commute (provided the bus isn't packed to the gills). Thankfully, I work where I live. Now I just need to score one of the tables with a power outlet.

Bus or road issues? See something interesting on your commute? Send in a tip to jseattle@gmail.com so we can spread the word.

• Commuting by bus will require patience but is probably the best way to go. You can see Metro's latest adverse weather alerts here.
• Traffic cams and travel times also available, of course.
• If you must drive, stick to the city and state's "primary routes" -- dark teal and black in the map below. They're the first and most sanded and snow-plowed roads. The dashed streets are low prio. No marks? Gonna have to sand on your own. You can see the complete area map here.
