Only in Oklahoma

How, in a matter of days, does the weather go from this sunny and a beautiful 70 degrees.


To this record-setting blizzard?



Oh Oklahoma. You tease me with your surprisingly warm days in January. Warm enough to enjoy a day on the lake wearing a sweatshirt.


And eat lake food.



And see a bald eagle swoop down from a tree, snatch a fish out of the lake and take it back up to the tree to eat.



And out-fish the boys!


And then you shake me back to winter reality 3 days later with a RECORD snowfall. A blizzard really. My boat friend is locked away in the garage covered by a giant snow drift.


And we're stuck inside trying to entertain ourselves and stay warm.




And now we need a bit more than a sweatshirt to go outside now.


The snow is pretty and all, but can you bring my 70 degrees back?

Please.

  1. Wow! You guys got a LOT of snow! Our weatherman reported up to 21" in Tulsa, and I didn't think about how big the drifts would be! I'm thankful that we only got about 6" here... and thankful for no school! :)

  2. I feel ya, girl. I think I'm about three..four hours away from you so we too had that awesome 70 degree weather on Saturday. I wore a tank top and flip flops for pete's sake! Now we are iced in for the last two days. Blah blah blah.

  4. Yiiiiikes. I guess I'll just keep reminding myself how lucky I am.
    But lake food seems to be as tasty as snowing food. At least. :)
