Is Anybody Else in South Central Freezing Their Fingers Off?

[Todah Tear]

WOW, the winter storm really came with a blast - 28 degrees, but it feels like 15. I lost the feeling in my fingers this morning in the parking lot at work, trying to put a tarp over the front of my SUV so that I won't need a blow torch to melt ice after work.

Is anyone else freezing (bruuurrrr)?? As soon as the weather clears up, I may have to find a good cover for Todah Tear... I "needs" my garage back !

If you are at home now, throw on a log for me!

BBRRRRRR!!!!!

Yep, it's been blowing sleet and freezing rain, and now getting ready for heavy snow in the OKC area.... I think the wind chill right now is about 5.

Points north of OKC are slated to get 12" or more today ! I wish it was only snow here !

And to think it was 80 yesterday afternoon (record high), right now, 28.

It's 78 here right now (almost 2pm)...we're waiting for the front to blow through...by 4pm it's supposed to be 40, then down to 27 tonight! For central LA, that's cold, LOL!

[Todah Tear]

I'm north of Dallas and we had quite a few people call in who work Evening shift. The roads are wet, but as soon as the sun goes down, the weather is going to get its freeze on!

Be Safe, be slow, be patient out there when you are driving!!

I am halfway between Fort Worth and OKC...it is snowing and the wind is blowing...

Had lots of sleet last night...low is to be 17 tonight...

I do not know the wind chill right now...but nothing to stop the wind but a barbed wire fence...

Amarillo has received 5 to 8 inches of snow. We live in the southwest part of town and had 8.25 inches. When I got up at 5:00 this morning the temp was 16 with a wind chill of minus 20.burrrrrr The highway dept has done an excellent job on the roads. I 40 was closed for a while because of a wreck and a lot of fender benders around town but nothing serious. Any body want to camp in the canyon tonight? Supposed to be 9 degrees not sure what the wind chill will be. Ed & Ruby

[Todah Tear]

Okay Ed, you win with 16 degrees now and a low of 9 degrees. My Tear is tight and can hold warmth pretty well, but 9 degrees might be too much of a challenge.

At 2:00 this afternoon it was 78*. I checked again at 3:30 and it was 50*, just checked again, now its 44*. Supposed to keep dropping overnight to near freezing tomorrow morning. Its finally cooling off like it should be!!!

I haven't seen this much of the white stuff on the ground for a long time, so I am actually enjoying it.

And I get to stay home and play with the kiddo!!
