White Christmas, anyone?

We are having blizzard like conditions here in the OKC area. 50 mph wind gusts with white outs and looking at possibly having 6-8 inches of snow by this evening on top of freezing rain and sleet. Their saying that I-40 which runs east and west will be closed by this afternoon and some roads have all ready been closed. It looks like we'll be staying home for Christmas. Grandma will have to postpone Christmas until a further date. I've lived here all but four years of my life and I've only seen it this bad or worse once. That's when I lived in NJ for 2 years and we caught the edge of a blizzard and got 2 feet of snow in 16 hours. Everyone have a good Christmas and I hope your weather isn't this bad or worse.

    Yes Jay. I have been white as long as I can remember.

  • A balmy 58F here in southeast NC. After having spent MANY winters in northern MI, MN, ND, SD, MA, icebreaking on the Great Lakes, etc. I'm really loving it this year. Oh - not a drop of snow on the ground and clear skies too. image

    Yeah yeah, I saw that you replied and I figured that you were going to brag about how nice the weather was in Florida. What's wrong is it too hot to get out today?image
    They're also reporting around 5,000 power outages in this area so I guess I need to got get some more firewood before the store closes.

    Acutally yes. I did sweat today while at work. I wasn't very happy about that image

    A cold front is moving in tonight though. It's going to be in the mid 40's which is great!
  • Kansas....a couple hundred miles above you Jay. Started coming down very hard around 8:30-9:00 this morning. Everything is now white and will likely be the next few days.

    Latest update is 35-60 mph winds, temp is 21 degrees with a windchill of -7, 8-12 inches by of snow by 10 pm with 3-4 ft drifts. I-40 Closed about 5 miles west of me due to a 20 car pile up. Traffic backed up atleast 2 miles. Also a 5 mile backup on a highway running through the northern part of OKC. Travel is strongly discouraged. I'm not goin' anywhere the rest of the day. I went to the store earlier and that wind makes the snow/sleet sting pretty good. I'm not goin' anywhere the rest of the day. Should've bought that 4wd pickup.

    We were getting freezing rain and sleet until around 8:00 am and then the snow began to fall. Visibility is around 100ft due to the blowing snow.
  • We had a tornado last night and now there is a chance of snow tonight. Gotta love living in the south.
  • Update...

    I may have to open some windows to let some air in...it's a tad chilly inside the house right now image

    The legs on the tourists and snowbirds are very white. Does that count?

  • Wow i didn't realize it was so bad in OKC. Were getting a blizzard in Wichita with 30-40 mph gusts. 60-65! That's brutal.

    Really dread driving around in this tommorrow. But hoping the wind dies down. Would make for some excellent duck hunting!

  • It started snowing last night here in Northern Missouri and has continued this morning. Probably 6-8 inches of snow so far and 20-30 mph winds. We were expecting family for Christmas dinner but may have to eat alone. First time in years I remember it actually snowing on Christmas day.
