Start paying it off. G o there you go. Speaking of outside letsdeet check in with mike thomas rightg now and find out what hes up to. What did you find mike. D mik reporter im out here of fox5 studios in northwest d. C. C looking at wisconsin checking c out the roads here we were justs on social media. Ocial one of the biggest controversi y so far this snowstorm has beenae that d. C. Public schools decided to go with twohour delay and ad decided not to close. Heres one of the things parentr are upset about much this isch i your main road much this iss wisconsin. Sc its wet, its soggy but its generally passible you see carsc going by at a pretty good clip. Slush pitt built up on the sides of the road. Sof t thats fine but then come over here to the side street. O th this harrison street and this ai does not look like its beenseen touched. We got cars up the road heredere that are still kind of spinningn out and the actually stuck. We go up there see if i canti t help him once this hit is down w here generally seeing the point being, this road has not beenote touched. Its got a good inch if not 2inches of snow and sleet andld slush that have just kind oft ko compacted here on the roadwaysdw its very very slick travel. Tv he just made it out a gentlemanm just helped push him into theimt fox5 parking lot there. So again its roads like thisiki that have parents concern. C. These side streets as kids get t off to school. Chool now very very ill not call l this passible street here. Other concern is the sidewalks. I we obviously got a period off freezing rain here. He. They have been shoveling theline sidewalk right outside here inei front and putting chemicals down so theyve melted some of theme ice and the slush. E slush. But for the most part its stili very very slick here along the e silkwalk. Crews out here of course my heart goes out to them doingm di their best. Th but, again, its very slick verk travel on the sidewalks which ii a concern for the kids this morning. Next concern we will have ofof course is tonight. Co is to even the main road wisconsin is temperatures arent going torego rise too much today. Se too even if they d mo, they will mel and then we will refreeze bigezb time tonight. Ig. Thats what were watching hereg in northwest d. C. Guys, ill send it in back to in to you. Thanks, mike. Lets go to melanie in gaithersburg. Hers we saw a guy using hissing his snowblower up there, mel. E,. How are things where you are . Ae reporter as i was watching t that i said, thats not a snowblower. Thats a slush blower that looks awful. That didnt look like when they normally below that nice whitehi fluffy snow. W. What were looking at righthanh me here another casualty a dumpp truck apparently hit this. And you can see where that impact is just hit the the cross beam and spun it around a here and so of course weve got the city crews and montgomeryy county crews blocking off this t road here. So that cars dont come and get into trouble here. Definitely were helped out byet the fact theres some lighteig traffic this morning because clapper road is a majorj road where people head to 270 and head into d. C. I dont know how long this isowh going to be here. Ow l theyre going to havonegoin to t definitely take this down. D i dont think you can just spint it back into place. So you can see the roads as well. Its just wet, and thats a gooo news also as well for commuters in the area. We havent really had much of ao chance to check residential streets yet. Reetyet but you know that they aret thee working on them. Rking the we talk witness mayor. Ess we talked with montgomery countt as well, and city of gaithersburg and they know thata theyre getting into thoseho residential areas. Si its just really kindde of thata day where the kids i know theyhe want to get out and play. La they want to get into the sledse i dont really know if itsw ifi going to work out. Ut i feel for the parents. Parents. Back to you guys. Ba to [ laughter ] do you really though, mel . Do you really feel for theallyet parents who dont want to go out there in the cold. Th i do. Er yes. I do. S. All right. Speak for e one of those days if you tryt to get in the sled it stopsit so immediately. Im i know, right. Rht. People were buying them. We by the lines were i went toet like three different grocery gry stores just trying to get aet shorter line, no luck.
