December 24th and 25th Weather

Well, a lot of people always want a white Christmas. Not me.

We had rain starting early on the 24th which changed to sleet around noon and then changed to snow a couple of hours later. Tulsa airport reported 6 inches of snow but I now believe we had a few more inches than the airport. My observation of more snow comes after a day of moving the snow off the driveway. We had winds of 35 to 45 MPH here in Tulsa and temperatures down to 18. An old time blizzard.

Well anyway, we didn’t have a normal Christmas. Everyone was snowed in as highways and streets were blocked or closed. So Marie and I spent the second Christmas in 50 years without the kids. The first Christmas without the kids was the first Christmas after we were married. Anyway, we have  reschedule for Sunday December 27th. Hopefully the wind will stop blowing the snow around and the temperature will get above freezing by Sunday.

My day was spent moving snow off the driveway as you can see in the pictures blow. I’ll feel the shoveling tomorrow.

These first pictures were taken early this morning.
