Ranting about the weatherPosted by beefalogal in Untagged |
Here in OK we are getting ready for the onslaught of winter weather for the second time this winter. Now I know that those of you who live in the North laugh at us for our state of panic but it is devastating here when we get bad winter weather. You see since we don't have to deal with it usually for more than 2 weeks or so at a time the state and county governments don't invest in snow removal equipment so strike one. We also get ice storms instead of snow most of the time. Then when we get snow it is usually after we have an ice storm. Strike two. Then when we have had our worst storms it has been as much as 70 degrees in the preceding 24 hours and the temps drop to below freezing and usually stay there for the duration. Strike Three. 1 Out.
