If it's anything like what hit Denver, you're going to have very high winds and blowing snow. 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

That's already happening farther north. The roads are clogged with accidents. In my town, we're still waiting for rain to change over to snow. It will happen before too much longer.Bob Juch wrote:If it's anything like what hit Denver, you're going to have very high winds and blowing snow.

Stay home and stay safe! And post often so we know how you're doing!
At least it's on a weekend so hopefully people will stay off the roads. But I'm sorry it will ruin your weekend!!

The goose who claimed the pond outside our office decided to get busy with nest-building today. I'm surprised she waited so long, with the mild weather we've had recently. But there was that unsuccessful effort two years ago when six inches of snow forced her to abandon her eggs and then start over.

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
Yep, we're tucked in the for weekend. I've got books to read, basketball to watch, and supplies laid in. #1 Son was planning to come home this weekend, but the base honchos put out the word that anyone who was planning to travel north out of Wichita Falls had their leave cancelled. Ah, well . . .
Stay safe, everybody.
Stay safe, everybody.

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
It's storming like crazy here and has been since 5:30AM. No chance of snow thank goodness.
I will be glad when this front moves on through. Supposedly will be sunny tomorrow.

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
The snow is 5" deep and still falling. And I mean near white-out, wet, fat flakes falling. herjosie was NOT amused, until I yelled, "Squirrel, Josie!". She yipped once, and bounded out across the yard. When she finally came back to the porch she was soaking wet, tail wagging, and eyes bright. She's now been towel-dried, and is snoozing on her afghan.
The weather map shows that we will likely be receiving show for several more hours. Hot cocoa sounds very appealing right about now!

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
We're still under severe thunderstorm warnings, the latest one just issued and good until 2PM central.
Last year we had a frost on Easter I think. Everything here is in full bloom, the dogwoods and the
azaleas are just getting to their fullest. A snow would be disastrous, but I don't think it's coming
this far.

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
Folks are having big problems with their Bradford pear trees, as the leaves are loading up with heavy, wet snow and the trees are then splitting in half. Some areas to the west of us have also received ice, which is really leaving some damage. The trees in the huge yard behind me had just started leafing out, but are really drooping badly.

We managed to avoid the worst of it, and I didn't even have to crank up the White Hot Glare of Righteousness.
Although it rained and rained yesterday, we got only a trace of snow overnight, with a few more lazy snowflakes today. I think I will get to do my laundry this afternoon, after all -- not that I'm particularly excited about that.

Re: Hey Okie folks, watch out.....
Ours is supposed to be rain, which I am happy about.
None of our stuff is blooming yet though. I hope it does soon, my condo will show a lot better when the forsythia bush out front and the pretty pink flowering tree outside my bedroom window are in bloom. Maybe after tomorrow's big rain and some warm weather it will all start to happen.
