Good morning all, the start of yet another beautiful weekend, for a lot of us anyway. The weather is crazy, we'll be in the 90's while a lot of folks are still battling snow. That includes Flagstaff, just a bit over 100 miles to the north of us. We were suppose to have rain today and tomorrow, but they substituted wind instead. 
Traffic around here is a mess. They closed the Bell/Grand intersection until the holidays. That is the third busiest intersection in the area and long overdo for the overpass over Grand Ave. and the BNSF main line. The detour routes seem to be running decent, it's those shortcut routes that are getting overloaded. That, and there's been like nine accidents around the detour in the first three days. People aren't confused, they just don't have the patience to slow down. The, "I'm more important than anyone else" syndrome rules when it comes to traffic etiquette.
Anyway, have a great weekend and if you're into bad weather, drive safely and have faith, it'll be hot and humid before you know it.
