No Snownadoes




You know what DOESN'T happen when it's snowing outside?

Right...tornadoes!

You know what DOESN'T happen when it's freezing outside?

WRONG! Tornadoes. It wasn't a trick question, like "Who was the REAL star of
'Charles In Charge,' Willie Aames or Scott Baio?

WRONG! It was Alf.

We've had at least two damaging tornadoes overnight up in NE OK, and it would be
nice if we could call it a day.



Unfortunately, the unpleasantness continues, and will continue to continue for
the next couple of days. Heck, it's storming right now for crying out loud!



And southeastern OK needs to stay weather aware for through Friday.







After that, the NW half or so of the state needs to be FREEZE aware (you
shouldn't have planted those flowers!) this weekend.





Throw Monday in there as well.



I, for one (actually, I count three because I'M writing this thing), am not
ready to go back to winter, but back to winter we will go, regardless, as the
Panhandle and far NW OK deal with a snowstorm of some sort.



I guess the best part of the coming few days is we will see some more rainfall,
or in SE OK, a LOT more rainfall.



It'd be nice to get "just rain," without the freeze, without the tornadoes,
without the hail, without the snow, etc.

But, it is Oklahoma, after all.
