Oklahoma City on Ice

Last week it was 70 degrees in Oklahoma City.


Forecasters predict it will be 50 degrees tomorrow.



Today, every blade of grass in my front yard is coated with ice.


My neighborhood, December 11, 2007. We were forced out of our house for 11 long, stressful days while we waited for power to be restored.

Ice is so treacherous - such a contradiction, since it is so beautiful. Your photos are gorgeous, Jen.

Beautiful photos! I think I was out of power for 7 days. What a difference a few blocks makes.

AVT Coach told me about the ice storm. Hope it is over soon.
Way too dangerous to be on the roads.

you know what the best thing about this storm has been?

not having hearing this:

How are the airports? You need to get out there. How many flights are cancelled? Any delays?????? OMG, what's going on!!!!!!?????

instead i had this conversation on Monday:

You should leave by noon, and work from home tomorrow.

@ReRe - I completely relate. Like I said, my only take away from that time was my friendship with you. Staying in touch w/ you helps me remind me of that. I still remember one of our first conversations - about your mom.

You can't imagine how happy I am to not be in that world anymore. I don't care if I have to sell everything I own and live in a hogan. I refuse to make a living hedging.

That is awful. Eleven days is a long time to go without power. I have trouble going w/o power for more than an hour.
