Oklahoma Weather

[MsProudSooner]

Gotta love Oklahoma weather. I went to the webpage of a Tulsa TV station and on the Weather page, it says the current temperature is 79 degrees and we are under a Winter Weather Warning!

[Petro-Sooner]

That's awesome.

It was 70 here in Denver yesterday, 7 and snowing all day today. Supposed to be back in the 60 this weekend.

Coming thru Tulsa on the way to OKC it was 81. When I got to I-35 and I-44 it was 49. I'm sure the MAP sensor on my pickup was thinking WTF?

That must have been just their viewership area, because the only winter warnings (as opposed to advisories) were north of the Okla-Kan border... and maybe over in the Panhandle.

Oklahoma Mesonet, has a nice perspective on this craziness right here:

Oklahoma: where it can be too hot to shovel the snow.

[StoopTroup]

Pickups can think?

Let's call it "Rainmageddon," because some areas of Oklahoma are projected to get more than 3 ****ing inches of rain in 3 days!

It's already drizzling here in Tulsa, with the atmosphere giving that "rain smell" all morning and even late last night with overcast/cloudy skies.

Any weather reports you all can offer on your areas?

I bet you yearn for the frozen tundra of dear old WI.

I bet you yearn for the frozen tundra of dear old WI.

My brother used to pretend to do chores inside (his favorite pretend-chore was running the bread making machine) so that he wouldn't have to help me shovel the snowy driveway. No, we didn't have a snowblower. Dad didn't believe in things that cost money.

[texaspokieokie]

My sister,bil & nephew live there. I've been there twice. It's nice in June & July. My bil has a snowblower, but he's getting too old to use it. (will be 80 this summer).

My nephew (a professor & liberal) loves WI. He's a true "desert rat"; born & raised in Mojave desert.

I just checked the western half of the state --- freeze watch in the Panhandle, including where they're expected to continue to get no rain.

Poor, parched, Oklahoma Panhandle. This Fallout 3 song is for you:

National weather this morning said "violent storms" y'all keep
your heads down!

[pphilfran]

It is going to be a nasty day...they are going to fire up down here and take aim up I44...

[cleller]

Channel 4 sure making a big deal out of one of their new weather spotters, supposed to be famous far and wide, named something like Weed Trimmer.

Famous storm spotters? Somehow I doubt it helps picking up chicks, though.

[C&CDean]

Tonight would be a good one for playing the Gary England drinking game.

Why are snowmen always smiling?

Cause they know the snow blower is coming.

Spring weather is always exciting in Oklahoma.

Especially around 3pm when everything starts getting darker as those clouds roll in.

I miss all of that.

Soooo... now that we've gone through the global warming part of the movie, is this the part of the movie where the planet counters all of the warming with another ice age?

**** ****itty **** **** ****. My garden is not going to survive this "Day After Tomorrow" bull****.

What's the standard procedure? Plastic bags over every delicate plant to prevent exposure to frost? No watering other than what falls from the sky? A lot of cursing that gets picked up by the language filter?

I was pretty unhappy last evening at having to be out sweating like a dog while covering up or hauling in plants (and young chicks) so they wouldn't freeze today.
