Weather!

With all the snow; I just hope there isn't damaging flooding during the spring thaw.

Well, i finally got all the snow removed from storm Dennis((the menace)) and now the weather guys are telling us that It's going to snow a little tuesday, before the next storm comes wednesday, that looks very much like the one we just had. Of course It's a little early yet, but they say it looks like it has the character of a BIG one. Snowblower, don't fail me now

High today 75^o! Low tonight 38^o. Winter storm watch in effect for Tulsa tonight (90 miles NE). High tomorrow 43^o (can't you keep that cold up there, orin?). Winter moves back in Monday night. Rain followed by freezing rain, sleet, and snow as temperatures drop. Snow Tuesday.

Here's a few pictures to show what the snow levels around here look like. I must point out that the bottom of the mail box is 42 inches above the road and i can't see it from the house anymore.

It's supposed to snow here also; I hope they are wrong.

bystander; you're supposed to share that nice warn weather. It's in the 20's here and it'll be colder and snowing the next two days if the weather predictions are correct.

Hey Orin, it won't be too long before you'll be saying to bystander - Hey bystander, can't you keep that heat down there? It's hot enough up here now!

Major storm predicted by NWS, starting tonight! Off to stock up.

[size=90][i]Weather Synopsis...Weather conditions will deteriorate rapidly tonight as winds increase, temperatures drop, and precipitation breaks out across the area. A winter mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow will change to all snow in most areas by daybreak. Blizzard conditions are very possible in some areas by Tuesday morning as the snow becomes heavy at times, and strong north winds create severe blowing and drifting. All preparations for this storm should be completed by this evening. Any unnecessary travel is discouraged late tonight and Tuesday, by which time roads may be impassable in many areas.[/i][/size]

Hey Orin, it won't be too long before you'll be saying to bystander - Hey bystander, can't you keep that heat down there? It's hot enough up here now!

I'll tackle that problem when it shows up!

We could send you 'white stock' in a 'white stork' for your white storm.

Major storm predicted by NWS, starting tonight! Off to stock up. :(

Wow, could you ship some of your balmy weather up here to the mountains? Our high tomorrow is supposed to be -2°F, and our low -26°F, and that's before any possible wind chill. I don't think we've had cold like that settle over us for a few years.

Yeah, well we okies are WIMPs. Sub-freezing temperatures and sub-zero wind chills and local news goes into panic mode. We get 24 hour weather reports complete with weather persons telling us to stay indoors or how to dress if we have to be outside (don't ever accuse us of having common sense). Add a threat of ice and snow, and the governor shuts down the state.

Governor Declares State of Emergency for Oklahoma
Oklahoma State, Oklahoma County, and Oklahoma City offices are closed tomorrow, and it hasn't even started yet.

We are now under a blizzard warning. Snow estimates 12" to 18" over the next 24 hrs.
Freezing drizzle right now. Thunder snow SE of us moving in our direction.

Well, here we go again. connecticut is just starting to get the one-two punch from the storm that's been ravaging about half the country. And i was just starting to see the top of my mailbox again from all the snow thus far, compacking itself because of It's weight. Not only that, but the weather guys are reminding us that tradionally february is the snowiest month of the year! Way to go, weather guys! Cheer us up Lets hear it for the weather guys,
On the bright side - I may be able to get some nice icy pictures. Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r

[bystander]

10" to 12" of snow already. Winds 35 to 50 mph. Temp 10^o and still falling. Wind chill well below zero. Still more coming.

[Beyond]

O-o-o-o-klahoma - where the snow goes blowin cross the plain. HAH, I'D rather have THAT then the ice that's supposed to hit connecticut tomorrow!!
We're supposed to get up to 1/2 inch of ice!! NASTY!!!! Not only that, but the weather guys are telling us that we could even have another storm this weekend!! SHEEEEEEEESH!!

[orin stepanek]

We've been pretty lucky so far with this storm! about 2 inches of powder; but cold! Currently 3 degrees F. Was a few below this AM. Omaha and Lincoln getting hit a little harder; around 5 inches.

75^o Saturday, -25^o wind chill today.
Oklahoma weather is not boring.

[Beyond]

The saying in New England is -- If you don't like the weather, wait a minute, It'll change.
Apparently that saying has taken a vacation for the last two months!

[Chris Peterson]

Looks like we peaked out today at -8°F; that was with the Sun out all day. Heading for perhaps -25°F tonight; if we hit that I think it will be a record low since I started recording the temperatures here about 10 years ago. I think today was also a record low high.

A couple days ago we were riding up into the back country with nothing but cotton shirts.
