Taking stock




No you know that I know that we know the Oklahoma Mesonet doesn't use heated rain
gauges, so when it snows, or iceses...ices, we have to wait for Mother Nature to
melt all that stuff so our gauges can measure the liquid equivalent. And yes, I
did type "equivelant" first, but let's not get sidetracked here. After all that
melting, we see that most areas of the state got at least a decent drink of water,
relatively speaking. So all that snow and ice, turned into rain, gets us what we
see above. Heck, it's raining right now, for crying out loud! We see you McCurtain
County.



And heck, we still have some snow to melt in north-central OK, for crying out
loud (part 2)!



Much like the hair on my head...it's faint, but it's there. The good news is we
have a chance for some light precip to add to those totals tonight into early
tomorrow.



The bad news is, it's after a cold front has moved through today, so the chance
for it to be snow or freezing rain/drizzle will be there.



Mind those bridges and overpasses tomorrow morning!
