We got hit with 2* F below on Friday night, Sat. morning. Froze up the house, solid.[:@]Our record for this time of year is 10*F below.
Put a torpedo heater under the house and got it thawed out Sat. Not so unusual, just not much snow yet.

 

I TOTALLY feel your pain, there, my friend. You guys got hit hard, that's for sure. I hope everyone is OK there? The wierd part for us is, we just don't get it like this.... I have seen 5 years go by up here without a flake. Now, it's one after the other. Driving everyone up here in the city nuts, because there are NO plans for dealing with this stuff. The entire city goes into lock-down mode. Uber large pain in the posterior.

Yeh, thanks Lee. Nice of you to pop by and mention that like that. LOL

Glad to hear that you guys are seeing IMPROVEMENTS from typical weather patterns... some areas are better than others, that's for sure. I have finally talked Mrs. TopSpeed into letting us get an AWD this year at some time, just to be less prone to being stuck when stuff like this happens. The hunt for an Audi A6 AWD begins here in the next few weeks.....

I keep trying to box the stuff up to send to you, but the darned FedEx guy keeps saying "We don't deliver water!!" What a weasel, eh?

We got hit AGAIN last night. Now, it's official. The weather is a mess. Never once in the history of this city, as far as I know, have there been 3 snow storms in one year.

 

Here in SE Texas we snow almost every ............ 20 years! LOL. But summertime here is brutal. 100 degrees with 100% humidity. SWEAT BATH! [8D]

 

I'm in Oklahoma City. We got an ice storm 2 weeks agothat is just starting to melt. A few deaths on I-44 and I-35.

And to think this is supposed to be the hottest summer across the US in history.

Maybe there is something to that global warming stuff.

 

That sounds pretty brutal, for sure, but me, I like hot vs. cold any day of the week. Man, if I lived in yer neck of the woods, I'd never put the roof up!

The ice still hasn't melted yet?? Holy Toledo; that's crazy!! You guys all OK there? I sure hope so...

 

We're fine. Was glad we didn't lose power. A lot of people did, so we got lucky. My kids school collapsed because of the weight of the ice (was on all the news channels, the Today Show, etc). They have no gym, cafeteria, and lost 4 classrooms. Thank God it happened on a Saturday when no one was in there.

 

That is a good thing. when does tornado season start overthere? March first here.......as if theywait fora season date.

 

Holy Toledo, now that's scary! I am so happy to hear that didn't happen when folks were in the building...

I am also glad to hear that youse guys are fine over there; our city goes absolutely squirrelly when stuff like this happens... you guys take care!

I've got this mental picture of tornado's standing about, tapping their fingers on their watches.... "Ready yet??.... How 'bout now???... C'mon I wanna huff 'n puff here!!!.... Can I go yet??"

 

I have family in the Poteau area (OK), (Leflore county) this is there first real winter there, they moved over from southern Ca., so they are getting a rude awakening. They have escaped some of the major storms but still got hit pretty hard.
They also experienced their first tornado season that just passed, and when we went to visit they were glued to the Tv watching the weather channel almost 20 hours a day, . In a way it was funny. They never really had a Tornado in the area, but they have what they call "straight" winds or something like that, and it was enough to scare the heck out of them a few times...

 

we had straight line winds come through and ripped up a bunch of stuff for about 5 miles including the high school. tore half the roof off and a couple walls. Like Kobe's case luckily enough it was on a Sunday so no one was there. lots of damage though. one of my in-laws neighbors house was waisted and he spent two days in the hospital. but he was fine, just banged up
