60 degree drop in one day!!!

Looking east, you can see the cold front about 2 hours after it passed over. It was 75 degrees at 2pm Sunday and 15 degrees this morning! Talk about old man winter! I hate cold weather. At least I got to shoot a little vid for the station this morning as it was slick! We had sleet storms last night, complete with thunder and lightning! Pretty cool, eh?

Lucky, in the snow....

This is my dog Lucky. Lucky likes everyone, but he doesn't like snow. I shot this the other night while it was snowing.....
Well, here in NE Okla we have dodged another bullet. South & East of me folks are gettin' hammered with hopefully the last winter storm o' the season:)

Chin up, dog!!

Day 8 without power......

My poor fat Boston Terrier is about to go crazy! It is like she's depressed. My mom's electric was turned on yesterday and she is happy. I am also happy for her as my generator gas bill was cut in half! My family & my brother & his wife all converged on mom's trees yesterday & cut limbs & trees galore! We worked for a long time piling limbs & here comes my buddy with his front end loader & scooped them all up & pushed the limbs into a big pile!! Thanks, Andy!!

...just now spoke w/ VVEC, and reported my power lines down for the bazzillionth time, and besides them acting as if it a new report every time I call in, they could not give me an ETA on my repair!! At least yesterday they said I would have power by Wednesday, and now no ETA!! They had crews working in my area both Saturday & Sunday, why couldn't they repair the lines lying across my back yard?? Maybe an hour or two to repair the forty some odd homes still dark in my addition.

...on a positive note(I really am trying to keep a good attitude during this crisis), I was able to go to church yesterday & that was refreshing. All the folks at New Life are awesome & I believe I attend the best church in the world! We had our Christmas program last night & our OnTheEdge youth group did a skit to the song Mary Did You Know and they did a great job! Hubert also put on a great program with the choir!

Well, that's all my thoughts for now. Maybe my lights will be on tonight...(I keep saying maybe today's the day).....

Ice storm in Oklahoma!

Ok, this is the second ice storm of 2007. Aaaarrgghhh!! This time my house lost power about 5:30am, and the power company says at least 1-1/2 days.......I kept hearing trees collapse under the weight of the ice all night. We had thunderstorms with freezing rain! At least one inch of ice on trees & powerlines.......this will be interesting.......
