Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We're iced up pretty bad and it's still raining. Expect the power will be out sometime over night if this keeps up this way. Some schools here are already cancelling for tomorrow.......Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Rose Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You folks in the south and west don't know what alot of snow is. We have so much snow up here in the north country that it will be July before it's melted. The snow banks are almost to the top of the telephone poles.... Temperature was below zero this morning with a wind chill of -25. You just have to tough it out. And this is the first winter I haven't gone to the deep south in quite a few years. Wrong year to stay home. Minnesota Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahomabound Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 ...well, started stirring outside a bit... ...the high today is 12 with a wind chill around -5 or so... our 14" snow fall drifted quite a bit... ...across a 100' portion of our road and this big drift is over 4' deep! ...got the truck stuck, the mule stuck, and the jeep stuck... dug the jeep out; pulled the truck out; and then got the mule out. So live is good again. ...after lunch will go try to start the little tractor again, it has the front end loader; so can start the clearing process. ...also have to figure a way to get water to the cows...

EE Taft Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 We're snowed in!! Trying to get up the hill monday night I must have cut a tire. Got out there this morning and the drifts are half way up the side of the Durango. We got about 18 inches and drifts runnin' anywhere from 4 to 6 feet. All that on top of a flat tire. I went back in the house! fun fun!! ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Its all relative...we don't encounter this very often. We're a lot more acclimated and mostly prepared for the other extremes, say 110 degrees, than you fellahs up North. And no, we don't like it that way either.

Texas LawDog Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Qkiebound, We got about 5 inches of snow last and it's been snowing off and on since sun up. It's about 26 right now, which is the warmest that's been since Monday night. We've got about 6 or 7 inches on the ground. You folks north of the Red River have gotten slammed. Good luck, Be safe, and stay warm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahomabound Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 ...it just stopped snowing... ...Tomorrow, maybe put protein cubes out for the cows and try running some water (through garden hoses) if it's above freezing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas LawDog Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 It is still in the lower 20s this morning. You will never hear me complain about the heat around here in the summer. I don't like wintertime or cold weather in general. I don't like snow either. I guess that it's okay that I am not a skier. The only way that I would get injured on a skiing trip, is to fall off a barstool in the lounge. OKB, I had thought about coming up to the City next weekend for the PBR, but I got vetoed by my better half. I was born in the Texas Panhandle and I know what it's like to care for livestock in this kind of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oklahomabound Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 ...well the road wasn't exactly cleared, more like snow knocked down enough to drive over, then it snowed again yesterday evening, 2" or so.... ...gotta see if we can make it to town this morning, weatherman (who's completely lost it) says more snow on Sunday and a really big snow storm on Wednesday....
