winter weather

I know how brutally cold it is out there today. A lot of Texans are without power and struggling to stay warm. Do not do this to heat up your residence.

Well, here we are in the middle of Snowpocalypse 2021 in Lawton, Fort Sill and Mother Nature isn't done with us yet. So far on the East side we've gotten somewhere between 5-7 inches. At least that's what I have in the middle of my front yard, unscientifically measuring the flattest part where there are no drifts.

With the winter storm dumping snow everywhere the City of Lawton has closed Town Hall and a few other properties for the day. If you don't have to get out on the roads, don't. It's gotten pretty bad out there and it's getting worse by the minute. We're expecting anywhere between 3-7 inches of snow today and the forecast calls for more snow tomorrow as well. Not only that it's incredibly cold outside, temperatures are at record lows in single digits and even below zero and negative numbers at times.

Better get the milk and bread while you can! We could be seeing some cooler temperatures and winter weather over the weekend and there's a possibility of a snowy Sunday here in Lawton, Fort Sill. Mother Nature has been a little moody lately, we've seen mid-sixties, upper-fifties and now it's looking like it could snow.

Have you ever wondered what freezing fog looks like? The Texas Department of Transportation shared some photos of the winter phenomenon on its Facebook page.

The 50's were a trip. This proves it. Traction control? Where we're going, we don't need traction control.

My friend Lee Weaver posted this on Facebook this morning: There's a video going sorta-viral on facebook showing a succession of school kids slipping on a patch of ice and falling. It was shot by a parent of student at that same school while sitting in his car. You can hear him laughing each time a child falls hard on the ice.

Governor Mary Fallin issued an executive order today declaring a state of emergency to deal with a depleted supply of propane available in Oklahoma.
