Artemis or Artifice?


As I sit here waiting for the plows to come shovel us out of the Blizzard of '07, I've been reviewing some of the local traffic information available on the web. So sketchy it is! This view of I-71 near Kenwood Road (Exit 11) is not so helpful.

Though much lauded by Steve, Traffic.com also did not bear fruit in the Cincinnati metroplex. Perhaps we're a non-measured city? However, I still love the "Jam Factor" metric.

It's actually the local TV station that really does it best, but the news is still not great:

For I-71, between Exit 7, the Norwood Lateral, SR 562 and the Ohio River.
This route is 8 miles in length.
