I just read your Sukky 2009 post, and it reminded me I was going to share
this little video with you of Oklahoma's sukky Christmas weather. You
nawtherners might be used to such, but we cannot deal with snow blowing
sideways and accumulating to 12". I'll never wish for a white Christmas
again!
This was taken by my younger son whilst driving about 20 mph in N Texas on
Christmas Eve. An hour or so later, this highway was closed, stranding my
sister and kids halfway to my mom's. The older son was stranded in OKC
overnight, but he had a great place to stay. My old hometown didn't have
electricity on Eve from 11 am to 8:15 pm. Then on Cmas day, the water supply
was shut off all day due to power lines downed at the water treatment
facility. There were other snafus as well. Thank God, we all made it to
Mom's for Christmas Day and back home safely. Only by His grace.
Happy New Year! Thank you for what you do and for being my friend!
Merrily

Now y'all make me feel bad. Last night I watched the fireworks on Daytona beach while drinking champagne. It was in the hi 60's.

We deal with this kind of weather on a regular basis here in SD. Not fun but not too big of a deal if you are wise enough to just stay off the roads except for emergencies. Of course I feed cattle and horses in this stuff ll winter also, but it's just par for the course. Much nicer than hurricanes, tornado's and earthquakes.
ReplyDeleteYep, that doesn't look too good, but it's nothing I'd blog about. If you're smart, you give yourself an extra hour to get to work where you can commiserate with your co-workers. If you're me, you bitch about all the pansy's slowing way down for a few snowflakes. =0D

bah, that's a snowstorm? Looks more like some light flurries.
ReplyDelete(ok, yes it is horrible if you are not used to it. It also reminds me of why I've moved to a subtropical climate)
Believe me, it was the worst thing we've seen in years in OK. I KNEW this was the reception the little video would get...we just can't deal. 110 degrees yes, 65 mph blowing snow...no. Come see us in July!
ReplyDeleteWe had that IN JUNE last summer
ReplyDeletein northern Manitoba...some global warming!
By the way, cold wx make you more energetic...Arizona stuff turn you into a Zombie!!!
YOU CANT DRESS FOR HOT WEATHER!!!
Coppermine Esquimos used to spend the winter without fire!!!Just wearing inside out caribou skin parkas!
Humans improved genetically going NORTH, re-degenerated moving back south!
