If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I know it's crazy cold and icy out so I'm thinking it's smarter to stay on. Just have cabin fever. But I'm also pregnant and have a toddler so I don't think it's the best idea to be driving/walking with the ice.

If you didn't have to go out, would you?

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I don't have to go anywhere until this afternoon and I probably won't.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Other than to and from the bus stop for DD, I'm not going anywhere. And I debated not sending her, as well.

I'm like you, PG with a toddler and as much as it kills me to stay home again I most likely will.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I would've stayed home, if I could've.

If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Nope. I'm working from home because my car is stuck in a bunch of ice. Have to wait for my husband to come home to yank it out.

Tx. I was thinking of taking dd to a mommy and me activity. I know I really should stay in though as much as I want to get out after yesterday in. Dd is only 19months and walking holding her down my steps, driveway to the car and parking lots are pure ice. Not worth it.

If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

No. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and was supposed to have an endocrinologist appt @9:20. They just called me and said not to come due to weather, I was so happy. I have a 2 yr old and the thought of dragging her out I am so afraid of falling. I do have work this aftnoon so I will be heading out a little later but if I had the choice I would stay home

I don't know if afternoon classes for my kids preschool is cancelled yet but I am not sure if I should send them for the 2.5 hours if they are open.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Not if I didn't have to.
It's really cold first off and then the ice.
Even if main roads are ok, the side roads are still bad and walking in parking lots and side walks could be dicey.
Especially with a toddler.
And you are pregnant, I wouldn't take the chance today.
If it was something urgent I'd say yes, but just to get out, I'd wait until tomorrow.
Supposed to warm up to 39 tomorrow so a lot will melt.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Nope.
Unfortunately I had to go to work.
Walking very carefully to avoid the ice and standing in the street to wait for the bus (thank you ConEd for blocking the stop and not clearing a path to the sidewalk) wasn't the greatest way to start the day.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Nope. So far I do not have to go anywhere. I will be cooking, cleaning, reading, and taking some continuing education. I will get some air later when let the dogs out later.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I stayed home from work today (working from home) - too cold and too icy.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Not pregnant & with a toddler. It's icy. Even bringing a toddler out in the backyard may alleviate your cabin fever but it's cold out & then you have to deal with trying to get a toddler back IN the house.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I'm walking DC to the bus stop and that's it. Kept my other DC home from pre k , don't want to drive. I also have cabin fever and want to get back into my normal routine! Just glad I don't HAVE to drive anywhere

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

i would stay in all day and be cozy!

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

No I hate driving in bad weather. Yesterday was a white knuckle drive home, this morning was OK but the roads near where I work are always terrible and never clear.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

I'm pregnant too and decided to stay home. I had to go to work yesterday because it was a deadline. But I brought work home for today. It looks too dangerous out there to be walking to the express bus. And the streets last night in Manhattan were huge puddles, they are all ice now.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

If I were you, I'd make a pajama day out of it. That said, other than the side roads, the main roads are fine, but my stoop, walk (all of which were shoveled) were scary walking down with the baby in the carseat, and even at daycare, it was a little scary.

If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Yes because I can not stay in. I went out in the "blizzard". I had to. I hate feeling trapped and have too much energy to stay in and relax all day.

If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

No way. I hate the cold. In winter, I never go out unless I have to or have plans. I don't go out just to go out. Especially not with a nearly 11 month old.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

Not sure I would go out while pregnant for fear of falling but honestly I dropped my kids off to school and didn't find it too bad - roads seem okay and its not as cold as I though it would be but maybe I am not awake yet!!!

If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

My toddler is at school and I am staying in w my infant, if it were just me I would go out but I dont see the need to take the baby out in this.

Re: If you didn't have to go out today, would you?

If I had my way, I'd be in bed right now.
