I firmly believe that news infotainment uses these... weathergasms to boost ratings.

I'll believe it here in Tulsa when y'all in OKC tell me your respective weather rocks are white.

[Half a Hundred]

Typical SO. You get a white Christmas, and all everyone can do is bitch and moan. ;)

[SeattleOUstudent]

OKC will end up with either 1 or 12 inches. Nothing in between.

Why do you call your wife "OKC"?

[1890MilesToNorman]

I think it is my Mom's fault, she left Maine on Sunday and arrived in OKC yesterday morning. We already had our 20 inches for Dec so I guess she thought she would bring you some Christmas snow?

[colleyvillesooner]

I'm pumped. We're in Sapulpa visiting the in-laws and my boy is getting a white Christmas for his first.

Merry Christmas ****ers.

Weathermen... last night they were saying the poor souls in central OK were going to get socked with maybe 12 inches... NE OK (me) was going to get 2-4...

Now my neck of the woods says 7-12!! And OKC area 3-5!

Good grief.

We have more than 3 inches and I would say it is over 5 but not sure. The drifts are getting tall.

There were these two fellars standin' on a bridge, a-goin' to the bathroom. One fellar said, "The water's cold" and the other fellar said, "The water's deep". I believe one fella come from Arkansas. Get it?

sleeting now. the weather soothsayers predicted sleet before it switches to snow. This may be the first Christmas Eve we pass on the church candlelight service. I can manage, but I fear the other yahoos who don't know how to drive in this stuff.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Just got done taking 2 hours to clear my small driveway...8" average on my driveway and I can't even see across the street.

[tommieharris91]

Thundersleet observed in Broken Arrow, OK. And there's a ton of sleet coming down.

[Boomer.....]

I just saw a picture of some interstate in the metro with around 20-30 cars piled up. The OHP said they are closing all highways and interstates in the metro and outlying areas.

EVERYBODY PANIC!

[nmsoonergirl]

Got up at 6 am to catch my 7:30 flight to OKC (via Dallas). Got to Dallas to find all flights to OKC canceled. They offered to fly me to Tulsa, but I didn't know if Homey would appreciate having me show up at his house unannounced, so now I'm back in Albuquerque (where it is GORGEOUS). First year I've ever not been at Mema's house for Christmas Eve, and I'm full of self pity.

It does make me really remember how many service men and women aren't spending the day with their families, either. I don't have enough words to thank those of you are are and have served.

Merry Christmas, everyone and be very safe. We fly to Corpus tomorrow to see Mr. NMS's family. There better not be a freaking blizzard in Rockport....

Here I was full of self pity because I didn't get to see snow and a once in 20 years white Christmas. You brought me back home with your thanks for our troops serving abroad that are missing their families now. God bless and be with all of them. That selfless sentiment has given me some true Christmas cheer. Thank you for sharing.

Good luck to you, nmsoonergirl, on your next travel plans and good luck to all of you traveling at this time, even if it is just down the street on some hazardous roads.

[C&CDean]

It's ****ed up out here on the Deanarosa. Seriously, I've never seen anything like it. I took some pictures while out feeding the cows that I'd post if I knew how to. Anybody know of a way to post pics without a twit****, utoob, or some other stupid dealio?

Right now I can't see across the back yard to the first pasture. Pure white, the temp on the porch is 17, and I know the wind chill has to be near 0 or even below. That **** is like needles too.

snowing sideways here in dee eff dub. started sticking a few hours ago, maybe an inch or two on the ground. i think this took the weathermen by surprise around here (what a shocker), because there wasn't 24 hour non-stop coverage leading up till today. ya know, the type of news that sends everyone around here to the grocery store to stock up on water and batteries. :rolleyes:

[SOONER44EVER]

From NW 10th and May to Nichols Hills is a 1 1/2 hour drive!!! I have a big 4X4 and went up curbs, around stuck cars, side streets, parking lots etc. and it still took that long! :eek:

They just said this is the first time on record that the Tulsa Metro Region has ever been issued a Blizzard Warning.
For those who don't know, I live in the Eastern Broken Arrow area...all I've seen is sleet for the last several hours. I had to go to Walmart earlier...I was in there maybe 20 minutes and by the time I came out, the roads went from wet to sleet covered and slick as snot.

I don't have pics yet, but you can bet your *** if we get the 5-9 inches of snow on top of the couple inches of sleet...my son and I will be out playing in it in the morning. Then I'll take some pics.

Everyone be safe out there and have a merry Christmas

Well... if you have Microsoft Office then you can right click on the file, select "open with", then select Microsoft Office Picture Manager. After the file opens click on "edit picture", then locate "resize", and make it 50% of the original size and save it. If you don't have MS Office, then you can email the pic to me and I'll do it.

I'd take a picture out my front door here in Norman but I'm not sure I can get it open... brutal stuff out there.

Yeah, OK Mr. Winter Stormmeister. Momma drives through KC fairly often, and y'all ain't seen anything like this POS storm we're getting today in many, many a year. She just came home from Iowa and was bitching about the snow up there. Right now she's just looking out the back window going "holy ****ing ****." Seriously, ain't never seen anything like it.

I am not sure what year it was but when I lived in Bella Vista/Bentonville, Arkansas we got some crazy snow one year. Did not come out of our house for almost a week. We lived on the worst kind of hill too so getting out of the drive was a bitch. It was cool living in Bella Vista because Bentonville had bus service out there for kids in school. When the roads got even remotely slick they activated limited busing and even if you did not ride the bus and I drove to high school you were not required to go in! So when most of my friends were in school I was hope getting dumber! They would get 1 day and most times I would get 2! I had a buddy who lived right down the street and he would come over and we would get hammered *** drunk and play video games!

[OU-HSV]

Well I just took a pic using my cell phone from my back patio and it is no good because it's just a white blur. I'll see if I can upload it on here. These effin snow flakes are huge!

[Fraggle145]

Jeezus just got home. We left out at 1:30pm not realizing how bad it was... Spent 5 hours on I-35 to get from Main to Tecumseh before we could exit. Came back to Norman up 77. Pretty treacherous. Teh snow in our driveway is ~12-18".

We can't open the front door or the garage. **** is up my titties. Of course I'm in the one little red spot on the whole damn Mike Morgan dealio. I ain't kidding, the dogs are pissing in the garage cause they ain't going out in that ****.

We've been getting hammered with the stuff since about 5 or so here in Henryetta; unreal

Big time powder falling here in midtown Tulsa. Been sleeting since about 11am and started snowing around 4ish. I went out a bit ago and shoveled my porch and a path to the car. Did the same for the neighbor.

Hopefully this will be the only kind of precip we get.

Well, see ya.

btw guys, as I was shoveling an hour or so ago I heard a jet fly over towards Tulsa INT. That's right, a jet in this stuff.

They said earlier they cancelled nearly all flights associated with Tulsa. So that's crazy, they must have allowed one to slip on in.

I had to shovel my back porch which faces the west/northwest (around my door) about 30 min. ago because it's drifting so much we couldn't open the back door without snow pouring into the house.
Needless to say, before I finished it was already piling up again. So I'm not quite sure how much ground I made. I'm sure I'll have to do it all again in a little while or in the morning.

Here's the view from my back patio about an hour and a half ago when the huge flakes started falling:

IT'S THE WORST WINTER STORM IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!!

I just got home from rescuing my sister's boyfriend from getting stranded. It took an hour to go 10 miles round trip. There were times where I couldn't see the road I was driving on because the drifting snow was that blinding.

I reckon we have about 7" on top of the sleet we got this afternoon. Still snowing. I am looking forward to taking my Red Ryder carbine-action BB gun with-the-compass-in-the-stock-and-this-thing-that-tells-time into my backyard Winter Wonderland to dispatch Black Bart in the morning.

NBC news just said this was an all-time record for OKC. 14 inches of snow and 60+ mph winds. I knew it was the worst I've ever seen in the 40 or so years in which I actually have some recollection. I experienced some stuff like this when I was working / living in St. Louis and it reminded me why I'll never make a permanent home anywhere north of OK. I hate this crap.

There's just something innately WRONG about warm outside temps at the holidays. Don't get me wrong, four and a half years of being stationed in UP of Michigan taught me hatred for snow, but to be HOME in Oklahoma would be worth it, a thousandfold.

Yes, I was able to get my in-laws to their hotel.....

[setem]

Last night I walked to the liquor store to get some beer! When I got back a friend of my sister called the house and said she was not far from us and stuck. So we hopped in our ride and went out to help her. There was no way for her to get to Mustang so she came to stay the night. Before we could head home we had to help motorists get up the hill at 10th and May Avenue. Some people do not listen when others try to help. We did our good deed and helped some folks then came home to a nice Christmas dinner at 10pm haha.

I chilled my beers in a snow drift on my front porch and shared them with my sister's boy friend. I tried to put the moves on the friend but she is married and was having none of it. The beers were amazing though and all in all it was a fun night.

Yeah, that was a hoot. As were the tailgaters while trying to maneuver your way down an ice packed highway. Really, doosh? You are going to climb up my *** when I am driving behind somebody already and down an icy highway? I gave them the brake stomp and wave....I think that taught them.

I can't speak for OKC but from the sounds of it, they got hit harder than we did in East B.A.
I did get some pics while my son and I were out playing in the snow earlier today. I'll try to post them in a bit or tomorrow

I'd say we got a good 6-8 of the stuff out near BA senior high.

Definitely. I think the official OKC snow measurement was over 14" and Tulsa's was only about 6". It can vary quite a bit even in one city, but it's really a mess out there in Tulsa....I can't imagine what it's like in OKC with twice as much snow.

Especially in OKC where it's flat with no trees.:D

Exactly. We could've had more if we wanted, but the hills and trees protected us.

Exactly, I tried to measure it in my backyard (I've told you before I'm out sort of near Forrest Ridge)...looked like we got about 7 or 8. But we had some huge *** drifts. There's a drift or two in my yard that are between waist deep and chest deep on me.

My parents drove out to my house late this afternoon...they live in central B.A. and I live in far East B.A....they said the roads sucked azz out my way (well basically that's what they said anyways)...the closer they got to my house the less the city/county paid attention to the roads

I think KC and OKC are probably about even in snowfall but OKC got the worst of it with higher winds. Both areas are having problems getting official totals because of the winds - KCI shows 12"+ yet there is only about 6" on the ground.

You can definitely see the wind effect at my house because the tops of the cars, deck railings, & other top surfaces have only a dusting on them yet drifts over a foot around them.

And KC has a completely new storm moving in tonight and all through Saturday.

Any updates in the Indian Nation Turnpike past Henryetta? Need to head back to Dallas on Sunday from Sapulpa and hope it doesn't take 6 hours. The 10 month old does not like his car seat that much.

Yeah but there is no comparison between ODOT and KDOT. They'll have clean roads in no time.

[OU-HSV]

To me the difference is that the states of Oklahoma and Missouri have such different ways of taking care of the roads. What I mean by this is that the state of Oklahoma could learn from the state of Missouri

Haha ditto, same time post as well

I think it has more to do with the fact that we don't have to deal with it quite as much. Resources and budget.

I am proud to say that I've driven out of Santa Fe and Steamboat Springs on highways that were closed.:D

First, I agree about KDOT but for those that think MODOT is on the ball -- think again. There is a very visible line where KS maintenance ends and MO begins on the roads around KC.

All I know is that when I drove from OK to Mizz. for the like '06 Big 12 title game, there was an obvious difference once we crossed into Mizz. Roads are taken care of much better there in winter weather.

Snowmageddon '09 rages on. It has literally not stop snowing in over 48 hrs. This schit is ridiculous.

Whoa man. We need some pics!

I was almost snowed in up there before Christmas in '98.

[Soonerfan88]

Just got done shoveling the drive and it was a B!!! It's still snowing but if it doesn't get any heavier should only get another inch. Hopefully it will stop tonight but forecasts are through at least noon tomorrow.

I didn't think of taking pics before shoveling but the drifts in the drive were at least 2 feet.
