Oh freeze this!




I have mere moments to Tick, so I won't waste your time (I HEARD THAT!), but I
just had to Tock about those freezing temperatures in the Oklahoma Panhandle. And
I do realize that the temperatures aren't freezing, but the weather is, so there
you go. That freeze is right in line, if not a bit later, than the average last
spring freeze for that part of the state.



But despite that, in some areas it was close to a record low for the day.



Prepare for a mild week, including a downright cool first day of May, then a
warm up.









And finally, as suspected, our nice rain totals with this week's rain chances
are doing the old dreaded "southern shuffle!"



We could try a northern shuffle, but I sadly cannot dance.
