Got to get the Bobcat fueled up and back in the shop, looks like I will be doing more snow removal tomorrow. They are forcasting up to 9", grrrrrrrrrrrr. I am sick of snow.

Yea if I wanted this much snow I'd move back to Duluth.

This time it's gonna get us here in Bama even. I'm right on the line between a prediction of 1" to 2" and 2" to 3" but further south they are looking at up to 6" and even on the beach down along the gulf they are expecting to see snow tomorrow.

Had to go out and get some firewood today (well, technically yesterday since it's almost 1 AM, but I'm going to stick with calling it "today"). Ran all over Bixby looking, cheapest we found was $70/rick. Checked a feed store just north of Beeline Grocery (and less than 2 miles from home) and they were getting $65/rick, but it was still sitting on the trailer, so they didn't know how much they had. Drove down to where we normally get firewood from in Preston (they had been totally out last week) and it was snowing down there. South of highway 16, snow. North of it, none. Go figure.

Can you believe it? Snowing again today.

Well at least the 50+ degree temps yesterday will slow it from sticking.

Yeah, we got 1 1/2" in Ponca City yesterday! But at least it was gone by the afternoon. At least I was able to get the boat out and catch me a stringer of crappie on Friday out at Kaw! Made for a really fine dinner that night!

Old Fart · « **Reply #8 on:** February 15, 2010, 10:24:03 AM »

Yea we got somewhere around a inch and a half or two also snowbelt45.
Like yours it was gone before evening came around.
I just don't remember it snowing this many time in I don't know how long.

By the way welcome to Greybeards forum.
A lotof nice folks here and plenty of good reading.

Old Fart · « **Reply #9 on:** February 26, 2010, 02:40:54 AM »

This is riduclous.

Woke up to snow again.
We had a healthy 1 1/2 to 2 inches where I live.

For anyone reading this not for the south please understand my ranting is because we usually only get one or two snows a years.
On top of that it's not unusual for them to just be lite dustings of snow.
Some years we get one pretty good snow upwards of a foot of snow.
Lot's of us live down here because we don't like this kind of winter.
Usually one good snow a year and we're happy.
Seems this year every time you turn around it's snowing.

I am futher west and north of you, didn't have much at all this am, but on my way to work I went thru a strip where the ground was covered.

Old Fart · « **Reply #11 on:** February 26, 2010, 04:11:39 AM »

Yea I was watching the weather last night and it looked liked starting around OKC then south and east of there.
They got a pretty good dose up north and west a few days ago.
Got a buddy at Vance AFB and he said they got about 3 inches then.

deernhog · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2010, 01:14:08 AM »

Hey they are talking snow again here on Thursday but with it in the mid thirties it won't last long (I hope). I'm camping this weekend and doing a poker run on a motorcycle Saturday.

Old Fart · « **Reply #13 on:** March 08, 2010, 02:32:01 AM »

I'm hoping we don't see another winter like this one for another 100 years......

I brought my pic's with me today. I'll try and get a few posted later.

Here's a few from out last big one here.

Nothing like Duluth MN. but pretty significant for down here.
You'll notice the snow stacked on the tree branchesin the 4th picture.
That is rare for down here as the wind almost always blows it off.

Old Fart · « **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2010, 06:56:03 AM »

Well here it is March 20th and I wake up to an inch of snow on the ground and more heading our way this afternoon.
Yesterday temps were in the hi 60's and low 70's. Today snow. Go figure. Where else but Oklahoma.

Just some sleet and a few flurries here in ardmore. I love it. Lived in South Dakota when i was a kid. Had a white christmas. First one in a long time. Hope it snows good today.

We have 8 to 10" here in Ponca City! Roads are OK now, but wait til in the morning! I'm so sick of the white stuff I'm heading to Texas on Monday

bronco73401 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2010, 06:16:15 PM »

FourBee · « **Reply #21 on:** March 20, 2010, 06:32:27 PM »

Sitting here reading your posts, and decided to say we had a small flurry about 3:pm this afternoon, but got up and went to the front door just now and looked outside. AAAaaaahhhh.

It's snowing hard and the ground is covered. It wasn't supposed to do that until tomorrow...

Oh well; that's Oklahoma weather for ya.

Old Fart · « **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2010, 05:08:47 AM »

Looks like the people in the eastern half of the state will get the snow dumping they promised us in central and western OK. yesterday.
The front appears stalled over Arkansas now and just letting loose. Looks like you folks down in SC and SE part of the state may get your snow now.

deernhog · « **Reply #23 on:** March 21, 2010, 07:12:05 AM »

Cold,windy and dreary but no snow here in Ada right now. We got about a inch last night and yesterday evening.

FourBee · « **Reply #24 on:** March 21, 2010, 07:39:46 AM »

Man We're getting hammered here. I cleaned 9" of snow off my my 4/W drive truck just awhile ago, but it's sticking as the temp. is dropping again. Out here in the country there is no traffic at all on these dirt roads. Good thing it's supposed to thaw tomorrow.

12:30PM this afternoon is still snowing and the lights are beginning to flicker. My APC Back-up says 1 overvoltage and 2 blackouts. Probably the chickenhouses up the road. They always have problems that affect the rest of us down the line.

okielectrician · « **Reply #25 on:** March 21, 2010, 08:02:51 AM »

4inches in Tulsa so far,but it still coming down.plus we had sleet before the snow fell.
Going to be fun driving to work tomorrow.

deernhog · « **Reply #26 on:** March 22, 2010, 02:50:38 AM »

We got a steady rain with 36 degrees and most of ours went away. This morning it is 39 and already climbing Whew dodged the last bullet. Time to start patterning some birds now. But I did remember a turkey hunt one year with a lite snow falling.

Old Fart · « **Reply #27 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:11:56 AM »

Bringing this back up. Looks like we're in for a nice snow storm.
So far this year we've had a dusting and another that accumulated around a inch and a half.

I hear that ! They keep changing the forecast. Increasing snow amounts. Temps are already dropping here. Single digit lows predicted. That ain't good for the water pipes.
