Road Conditions

Looks like most of Oklahoma is expecting snow and ice later this week according to the latest weather forecasts. Might want to get the bread and milk while there's still time, to prepare for the coming Snowpocalypse.

Well, here we are day three of Mother Nature's frozen wonderland. It's been a crazy couple of days in Lawton, Fort Sill and it's not over yet! Things are slowly but surely starting to melt off, but we've got a ways to go before the roads are clear.

We'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of our City f Lawton workers and street crews for everything they've done for us over the past couple of days. They've been out night and day in all this madness spreading salt and sand to help improve the road conditions in Lawton, Fort Sill.

Will we ever see an end to Winter and all the snow and ice in Oklahoma? Mother Nature sure has been moody lately, not to mention unpredictable. We're experiencing yet another late February ice storm in the Sooner State, it's starting to become a habit.

If you thought Lawton roads and potholes were bad before, you haven't seen nothing yet. Thanks to the winter storm we had last week with all the snow, ice and water everywhere along with the dirt, salt and plowing it's definitely going to do some damage to our roads. All the freezing temperatures we saw last week and rapid changes in the weather from hot to cold and back again will certainly cause issues with our streets and create more potholes. The asphalt roads will be worse than concrete, but both will be affected.
