I need out of the house and thinking about taking my kid to thie part day prechool at cdc at 1 so i can go do my grocery shopping done running out of things. And dont even judge me for taking my kids to cdc on a snowy day like today just for the record they havent been to their part day preschool since last monday becuase of their horrible colds. Does anyone know what the roads are like? 

~*Kandice*~ --- 14 years ago -

I personally havent drove on them but I know my husband just got told to stay home and not come in. The roads are still all red. If you do go out just be very careful. Personally to me, I'm waiting to go out until it warms up a bit. 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

ugh i really need to go out but i do know i have to go out in the morning i dont have a choice. maybe i can push it off 1 more day. 

Yard --- 14 years ago -

Yeah my husband had to go in and he said the roads are horrible so you may want to try to wait. Up to you, but be careful if you decide to go! 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

IDK i do know i am goig crazy sitting at hme with my kids been stuck in the house for a week because of their colds. I can take sitting at home all the time expecially when payday is here but then again its not worth risking my life 

emily --- 14 years ago -

My good friend works at a CDC on post. She is not going in because the roads are too bad. I think most people are staying home, but if you do go out drive slowly. 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

ya im very cautious about driving in crap like this probably to cautios lol. Its not my driving im worried about its other peoples driving im worried about that are not use to this. My friend from tx went to start her truck this morning it wont start one of her neighbors tried to leave her parking lot and got stuck near her truck. SHe says she needs to leave and go somewhere but if you guys are saying the roads are bad she deffantly needs to stay home if she gets her truck started becuase she has 4 kids to take out with her. ages 5 and under. When their is snow on the roads and not even bad she has me drive if my kids are at school becuase im use to it 

~*Kandice*~ --- 14 years ago -

If you do go out I would try to wait until later...Maybe the sun will melt something, I'm not sure though because the high is only 9 today haha. We've got cabin fever but I'm just not going to risk going out and someone hitting us. 

emily --- 14 years ago -

It is no fun sliding sideways on the road with kids in the car. Been there done that. 

hershey kisses --- 14 years ago -

we drove on them yesterday and they werent that bad as long as you went slow ..my hubby just went to 24 hour and he said they arent that bad ..but not sure how they are up on the hill...were from ny and use to roads much worse ..so maybe to us there not back but to other people they are ..i know the housing areas are much worse then the actual roads also ..you can always try and if you dont feel comfortable just turn around 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

I do have all wheel drive which helps but as bad as i want out of the house i dont think im going anywhere. like i said i have to go out tomorrow morning i dont have a choice my frienid who doesnt have a licence has a breifing with transportation about moving her next week. so since i have to go out tomorrow i might as well suck it up for one more day. I deffanltly have cabin fever tho and no SURGAR or sweets 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

HK im from iowa so im use to this i just dont like it. Altho people were saying roads were bad on monday when they were not becuase i was out on monday. like i said not worried about my driving since im use to snow covered roads im worried about other peoples driving lol 

josie --- 14 years ago -

I make my decision to go out based on Caisson Hill Rd which is behind my house. Usually if that is clear, the otehr main roads are Ok.. and Caisson Hill is still covered in snow. I'd say wait until the sun is out a little longer and maybe they get some salt/sand down. Then it should be Ok. At least I hope so because we are officially out of milk and bread. :( 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

i have milk no bread but then again the 24hr shoppett is only 2 blocks from me. you know its time to go grocery shopping when you open your fridge/freezer and cubbords and nothing sounds good 

me --- 14 years ago -

my husband said the roads are fine its just super super cold out there so bundle up... 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

I think i have done made up my mind. I dont think im going out my kids still have some what of a cold and i dont want to take them out and make it worse when it will be warmer tomorrow. ya tomorrow i will have to take them to the store with me but thats better then dragging them out in below 0 temps. Thanks 

josie --- 14 years ago -

Good idea! I think we will push through and just do juice until tomorrow! No milk for one day never killed anyone.. although the way my daughter is screaming you would think so! haha 

militarybrat --- 14 years ago -

I am at work now and I drove on the roads. The roads are fine just the side roads and parking lots are not to great. 

Tee C --- 14 years ago -

Its not my driving im worried about its other peoples driving im worried about that are not use to this.

In addition to that, the side roads really haven't been cleared as well as they could have been. Yes, most of the main roads are okay, but you have to get to them using the side roads first. No matter how careful or good a driver you are, sliding is something you can't control on the right surface. 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

There are ways of controling you car when you are sliding you just need to know how to correct it and not jerking it. ANd i live on the corner next to jackson so i dont have far to go to get to a main road. but like i said dont matter im not leaving 

notsue --- 14 years ago -

If they'd ever bring the plow thru my damned parking lot, I might leave. Its a really nice day, I just finished shoveling... 

me --- 14 years ago -

really nice day??? what??? LOL...its -6 with the windchill..thats not nice...thats beyond freezing!! 

notsue --- 14 years ago -

Well, I know its damned cold out there... but the sun is shining, and its melting stuff. :) I had fun shoveling my driveway. 

Southern_Belle --- 14 years ago -

Im going out to shovel my space....we shall see...half of my parking lot has melted away! I really want to get out...Im going stir crazy! 

josie --- 14 years ago -

I heard the roads aren't that bad once u get out of housing.. but its the 'once u get out of housing' part tha scares me! 

Southern_Belle --- 14 years ago -

shoveled my space, started shoveling a path out of the parking lot and here comes the plow truck!!!YIPPEE Im free! 

giffs fam --- 14 years ago -

YAY I am still wanting to go out but its so FRICKEN COLD. plus cant go anywhere for atleast and hour or so till my son wakes up we will see if i get that bored 

Proud Army Wife --- 14 years ago -

The roads on post arent bad (once you are of housing of course lol) But Junction City roads are bad, just becareful. They arent really cleared and they are slipery 

Southern_Belle --- 14 years ago -

I want to go to manhattan I wonder how the roads r there? 

daycare mommy --- 14 years ago -

I live on a side street in Manhattan and it has some snow on it but doesn't look to bad. You can actually see the asphalt in some places where the sun is melting it.
