Tulsa just passed their all time
record snowfall-14 inches.
(I remember very well our last record snowfall in 1994 with 12.9 inches. Bethany had just been born and we got to bring her home from the hospital in that mess! Talk about being a nervous wreck!)
Owasso ended up getting 21 inches today
with 4-6 foot drifts. Everything is pretty well shut down-fire trucks and even snow plows are getting stuck. Turnpikes are closed down because of 3-4 foot drifts, and the National Guard is being called out to help all the stranded drivers. Some highways are at a standstill with miles of semi trucks stuck in the snow. What a mess!
Okay, I know this is probably wimpy for people up north, but we were pretty impressed!
This is what we woke up to.
As the day went on, it just got worse. With wind gusts up to 45 miles per hour
and wind chills around -5,
we were happy to stay inside and do school around our warm little fireplace.
(Note to self: Got to get that glass door replaced!)

Of course Sarah had to go out for at least a minute.
By the time I took her picture, she was ready to come back in :)
Even the dogs wouldn't leave their doggie cave.
And I think our trampoline is pretty well shot.
Being the good mom that I am, I made Jacob go shovel it off.
Just in case it can be saved.
hmm
I think we ended up only getting 10-12 inches with some 3 foot drifts, but that was plenty thank you!
After all that, the Lord sure did send us a beautiful sunset!
Saturday it was 76 degrees, tomorrow down to -7.
That's Oklahoma for ya!
