Therefore, you answered your own question. Now at risk of triggering you over things Irish, the name "Samhain" is what the Irish government and Irish-speaking population uses as the name of the month of November. |

Now, it's mainstream to acknowledge the connection between Samhain and Halloween. The reason no one talked about it, is because no one knew. Meanwhile, there are still 45 minute delays on the inbound GWB. |

At one point, there are two lanes that merge to one going to the lower level approach.Many people don't honor the solid line and ride the diagonal lines and merge late. That's you. You're a late lane merger who cuts the line. |

Do you know how to pronounce "Samhain"?This is for the month of November 2020, JFTR. The text underneath "Samhain" translates as "Month of the dead".  |

Even at night they close lanes for construction so it’s still slow.But like I mentioned elsewhere: 11 AM. I was shocked at the time I was making when I was approaching the Triborough. |
