Explain? Did you do something different, or was all the whining about the DNC just pointless and everything is fine?

My suspicion is that most of the offices are closed, thus cutting the number of commuters bigtime.

Well, I'm not sure it's fine everywhere, but I always take non-major routes to work, so the constrictions on major highways don't particularly affect me.

It's all feedback loops. So many people stayed off the roads due to the predictions of gloom and doom (due to telecommuting, or simply going on vacation) that it more than compensated for the messed-up situation.

Basically, they did a good enough job of scaring the hell out of everyone that pretty much everyone is working around the problem in some fashion. Which of course means that there's no problem...
