The Pending Winter Storm...

[ouwasp]

The weathermen in Tulsa will not speculate as to how much or what sort of winter precip we can expect Mon night thru Wed morning...:confused: ...they just say it will be "Signifcant" :eek:

Are they really that enslaved to their computer models? Why can't/won't they give us a forecast? :mad:

But...I did click on my county on the winter storm watch list on KTUL's site, and it said possibly 4-10 inches of snow north of I-40...as long as the darned ice stays away...

Why won't they come out and say it?

[OU-HSV]

I was watching the KJRH weather channel a bit ago and they say ice on Tuesday am then changing over to all heavy snow with blizzard like conditions likely. And on their graph that showed the days, it said 5-8" on Tuesday. Man, it will be entertaining to see how/if they flip flop around on this forecast, I mean they still have 48 hours plus.

[ouwasp]

thanks for the reply, HSV... I watched the weather on KOTV & KTUL; they were almost carbon-copies of each other. Glad to hear KJRH is at least taking a stand...

[THE-JROD]

Suppose to get the heavy stuff here in northwestern OK Sunday everning, all day Monday....suppose to be some ice below the snow as well....if the weather man is correct this time...could be a bad'n

[yermom]

after sitting through winter weather training for a couple years, yeah anything too specific seems like a total guess at this point :D

[Soonerfan88]

Here in Mizzeri, the freezing drizzle/rain will start Sunday night then slowly transform into snow on Tuesday before finally clearing on Wednesday afternoon. It's going to be a fun week....

[GKeeper316]

i smell snow days!

parents you better go buy some dvds and a couple new games to keep your kids occupied while they're stuck inside

[yermom]

ya but when you were a kid, the best thing you had to play with was a wood carving of a bear or some **** like that.

[yermom]

well, i certainly didn't have a DVD player.

i'm not quite THAT old though

[Okla-homey]

Oh no!


A large winter storm forecast to unfold could adversely affect more than 100 million people this week from the Rockies to the Plains, South, Midwest and Northeast, if it develops to its full potential.

The latest indications continue to point toward a large storm forming amidst a building temperature contrast over the middle of the nation. Precipitation and strong cold air/warm air circulation around that storm will affect many millions of people from the interior West to the Atlantic Coast as next week progresses.

We are calling this system the Groundhog Day storm, and it will likely severely impact ground travel, and lead to canceled flights, school delays and closures. The storm is not only a concern for Wednesday, but for much of the week as the system moves along.

We lost power for several days in Marlow as well.

On the upside the replaced most of the poles around here.

[OhU1]

Marlow got it worse than anyone in the power loss department last year. I was down for 5 days in Elgin but at least the trees in my new development are not big enough to matter.

[unbiasedtruth]

cool... in another week be able to go out and find pecan and hickory to stockpile my bar-b-que for another year or so..... as if the 2 1/2 cords I have now isnt enough.....

[OklahomaTuba]

Now they're saying we should expect 10-15" of global warming tomorrow.

[Aldebaran]

When people connect global warming to a specific weather event, and not climate, I know I'm going to have to dumb it down a little to relate to them.

[oudavid1]

Keep your kids entertained?

Snow days mean Snow football, snow sledding, and snow ball fights!

Lets go!

[setem]

6.2 inches is projected here in Oklahoma City!

I love it when those who live in winter weather climates get all condescending. Face it Flagstaff, you can deal with it because of the army of workers who are out clearing your roads after a big snowfall. Oklahoma doesn't have that.

Last year in D.C. we had three monster storms. I was also in OKC for the Christmas Eve blizzard. While we got more snow in DC there is no comparison. OKC doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with it. It doesn't matter how hardened you are to winter weather.

[OUMallen]

LEVEL EIGHT KILLBLIZZARD. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Flagstaffsooner]

Yup I remember the stuff in OKC and the lack of plowing. As I had lived in Flagstaff before I just cruised around in my Buick tank while everyone else stayed home.

[delhalew]

I'm looking forward driving all over hell and gone in that crap. As jks said, its all about the infrastructure...we gots none.

[delhalew]

Right now I'm in Kansas with a blown tire, waiting for the sky to open up.:(

[1890MilesToNorman]

You guys are funny, I have a snow blower available for rent, $200 a day. You pay shipping both ways. :D

BTW, I just reread my post and it didn't have the tone I intended. I meant it a lot more light-hearted than it sounded.

You'll need it to dig out the end of your driveway after the snowplow driver comes by.

Plus, our snow will probably be gone by the first of next week. You have another 3 months or so before yours is all gone?

Thats always my favorite. And that crap is compressed and heavy.

[Flagstaffsooner]

BTW, I just reread my post and it didn't have the tone I intended. I meant it a lot more light-hearted than it sounded.If it will make you feel better it is snowing here now. Look like about 4 inches so far.;)

[JohnnyMack]

Snow can go **** itself.

I retract my offer for the snow blower, we gettin 10-15 inches on Wed so I might need it.

Our snow is usually gone by tax day, koinkydink? I think not.

[ouwasp]

Snow can go **** itself.

Amen bro...

But at least the snow is better than ice.

Ice Storms are The Suck:mad: :mad:

I hope our recruits can get to school to sign their LOI to play football at OU on Wednesday.

[yermom]

let me know if anyone needs a ride

[OUthunder]

Snow is nothing, ice is what really ****s things up.

Fun fact: No one notices when you switch from sniffing glue to huffing paint.

[Sooner_Bob]

As long as the snow is plowed . . . and folks aren't driving vehicles super low to the ground.

[CowboyMRW]

OSU just cancelled campus for tomorrow. No precipitation has even hit the ground yet

[soonerchk]

Just talked to one of my friends at the National Weather Service, and she says the models are looking worse. Worse than 8"10" she was talking yesterday.

Cannot believe I came back from Florida last night for this!

[C&CDean]

A couple from last year's nastiness. We're supposed to get some more up in DC this week too.
