Snow falling on basically the same shot as last night's

Snowman down the street

By the way, this is post #900!

Ice/Sleet/Snow Storm, day 3

Ice/Sleet/Snow Storm, Day 2

A dime has a diameter of about 1/2", so that means we got a little over 1/4" of ice.

A few other shots of the storm (still in progress)

Ice Storm

Well, the moon was right. Abour 3 hours of freezing rain, followed by another 4 or so sleet. Snow is next and should run all night and into tomorrow.

ABC Wednesday -- B is for Bad Weather

Folklore says that a ring around the moon predicts the onset of unsettled weather, especially in the winter. Given that the forecast for Thursday is calling for record amounts of freezing rain, sleet, and snow, I'd say that the ring isn't lying.

Really weird weather phenomenon

Travelling down the road, I looked up and saw this. From the middle of a pretty consistent cloud pattern, this hole in the cloud -- a stingray in the sky.

Here Comes More Snow

Sunset on our snowy street

Christmas eve blizzard

Oklahoma City had a blizzard on Christmas Eve. 14"+ (a record for any snow event in OKC
recorded history). Only the 5th white Christmas in recorded history for this town.

Here are a few of the pictures I took:

First a couple of the snow actually falling:




Then, some more snow covered things:

Snow in OKC

Growing up in OKC (1963 - 1984), we had 1, count'em 1, white Christmas, and that was a few flurries in 1974 (I think).

So far today, we are at about 6", and they think it will not stop until about 6:00pm.

Don't try to tell me that there is no evidence of global climate change.
