Kasey Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I'd appreciate any info on road conditions in and around Pittsburgh. Fred and I have planned to attend Frank's memorial service tomorrow. We were going to leave early AM and return late PM. We figured it would take between 4 and 4-1/2 hours one way. Teddy has reservations at 'camp' starting this evening. The roads around here are definitely not good, and many of you have probably seen the 'nightmare' of all those folks trapped on the interstate (some up to 24 hours). I am so committed to go, but am fearful the roads may even be worse where we are headed. So anyone from the western part of PA..............could you let us know if this is a doable trip. Thanks.

ginnyde Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Kasey, please let his family know that we are all thinking of them and how much we loved Frank. Quote
Kasey Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks for the PM's and good suggestions. We had already checked the internet and AAA. It seems that there are some questionable conditions the further west you go and we are a bit uneasy about trying it. For those not in the area......there was quite a problem with traffic being snarled for up to 24 hours. So as of right now, we are planning to cancel and I am so BUMMED. We had planned all along to make it and I am heartbroken over this weather keeping us away. Kasey Quote
recce101 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Kasey: The only other thing I could suggest is to check with the Highway Patrol, State Police, or whatever you call that function in PA. I spent three winters in Morgantown, WV, as an Air Force ROTC instructor, and anytime I needed to drive in questionable conditions the troopers there always had the latest in road conditions and were very helpful. You may not hear anything different from what you've already heard, but at least you'd have a "second opinion" from a reliable source. Aloha, Ned Quote
sharyn Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Kasey, You know you are an incredible person. I am sure that Frank would not want anyone out there on dangerous roads... and he is probably saying "just have a chocolate donut and a beer and say a prayer for me".... You intentions were admirable.... Love, Sharon Quote
shineladysue Posted February 17, 2007 Posted February 17, 2007 Kasey, I agree with Sharon. Frank would not want you and Fred stressing over this. It's for sure he wouldn't want you to jeopardize your safety. He loved you guys and so do we, so relax and grab that chocolate doughnut and a bud light... try it , you'll like it... Love, Sue Quote
