28 degrees outside, and it just started raining.......Already a big sheet of ice. Supposed to get up to 2" of ice followed by 12-16 inches of snow over the next two days.

Well, you know it's that global warming thing that we are "supposed" to go through and then after that, "the ice age commeth!" So they say anyway.......

Central Oklahoma:

Tonight
Rain and freezing rain...mixing with snow and sleet overnight. Windy at times. Low around 15F. Winds N at 25 to 35 mph. Snow accumulating 2 to 4 inches. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
hi 43 lo 15
Wind Speed 26 mph N
Precipitation 100%

Tomorrow

Windy. Heavy snow during the morning will give way to snow showers during the afternoon. High near 15F. Winds NNW at 25 to 35 mph. 8 to 12 inches of snow expected. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
hi 15, lo 4

Sounds like biizzard conditions to me.

Yeah, on top of all the snow here we are supposed to get winds ranging from 25-45 mph. You can bet that I am not going anywhere if those turn out to be the conditions. A buck isn't worth dying for no matter how much the client screams that it is.

Well, the snow & wind are here. Started sleeting last night about 10PM, turned to snow & still coming down. Looks deep and nothing is moving. Staying in is a no brainer. All is good, still have power, heat & chow....... oh yeah, internet service. I don't know about TV, we are on DirecTv satillite. Now 7F, heavy snow & 25~35 mph wind.

Hope everyone else is doing OK. The chicago boyz are supposed to get a record storm. Hang in there!

We got freezing rain, and it just turned to snow about 45 minutes ago. Still calling for 12-16" of the fluffy white stuff.

I have my truck warming, and am getting ready to head out. I am going to buy a new portable mig so I can do the tunnel on the gto since my big welder is on loan :( Stay safe guys.

Must be that global warming everyone has been talking about.

That storm is packing a hard hit. Stay safe.

Yeah, it is a doozy. With the wind whipping around it almost creates whiteout conditions while driving.

I did make it back safely, and there is almost a peacefulness that comes with driving through this stuff. Very few cars out, it is just beautiful. It will take our road crews two days or better to catch up with this once it stops. Modot is not efficient at all.

Now now, there are many who consider rodents to have more rights than you. You don't want the fur mafia on your case, do you?

We ended up getting a heck of a lot of rain and temp's in the 40's. The offshore waters are our savior at times. Other times , well they can do just the opposite.
