Well we've finally starting to move past the climatology portion of our White
Christmas wish list and into the realm of WEATHER forecasting now that we're about
9 days out.

And on the 9th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...the flu. Oh, and also
highs in the 50s? 60s? Uhhhhh, 70s???





Whatever they are, even though we're still on the precipice (English to Okie
translation: "edge") of Fantasy-Cast territory, there really is no magical pattern
change out there waiting on us to give us a Christmas miracle. Just like there
is no magical pattern change out there for the male pattern baldness (write your
own jokes here...yeah, haha!). That's okay though, because there wouldn't be
any moisture to go with it!



Yep, that's a sad sight, unless you're in eastern OK. For most of the state,
we're gonna extend that rainless streak well out past a month before it breaks.



Even more sad is that heck, it's raining right now for crying out loud (just not
everywhere)!





Drought mode, REACTIVATED.

Bah humbug!
