“This is the worst case scenario, folks,” the weatherman informed us last night. Sleet and freezing rain, followed by snow, followed by possible thunderstorms. Expect horrible driving conditions and power outages. Wednesday night (while it was still 65 degrees), Southwest Airlines announced they were cancelling Thursday’s flights out of OKC. Long before a single snowflake or ice pellet hit the ground, all the local schools were closed.
We got some white stuff alright, but fortunately it wasn’t as bad as what we were expecting. The roads are slick, but they’re nowhere as bad as they were this past Christmas. In fact, around dinner time, Mason and I hopped in the truck and drove all over Yukon, taking pictures.
Both work and the kids’ school are closed tomorrow, so we got a four day weekend out of the deal. We didn’t have any problem getting around town at all earlier and the white stuff has quit coming down for the time being, so I don’t see us being stuck around the house tomorrow.
In the meantime, enjoy these pictures from Winter Storm 2010.
When the weatherman says that does everybody run to the store and buy up all the milk and bread like they do here?
Short answer yes.
Wednesday morning on my way to work I had to stop for gas and 5 people with Generators (most still in the box) were at the gas station filling them up.
