Forcast this morning for my area ... thru Sunday, sunny with the Sunday high of 70 degree's and wind up to 45 mph, then MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY highs of 32 degrees, predicting rain, ice, snow .... each day!!

Suppose I will fill the generators, feed the cows heavy... stock up on support for my habits and just put my foot in the stirrup and ride it out!!!!

The worst will be if we get heavy ice ....

We don't need another ice storm like we had last year. I'm rural out be Skiatook lake and we were some of the last ones to get power back. But, if it does happen this year, I'm ready. 20 gallons of gas for the genny, tractor is full and have 10 more gallons of diesel and a cord of firewood.

77 degrees this afternoon, now at 7:35 p.m. 47 degrees, just as the weather man said. They now predict light rain by midnight with possible ice by sunrise ... ready or not ...

We were officially at 77 degrees at 6 p.m., 69 degrees at 8 p.m., and 43 degrees at 9 p.m.; dropped 26 dgrees in an hour. And after 77 today, they forecast for tomorrow is a high of 33.

I had walked out on the patio a little after 7 p.m., very pleasant with a pretty good south breeze, but I just now went out in the cold north wind to move a table and chairs off the patio so they don't get blown away.

But at least so far we don't have the ice storm they have in the northeast.

10 P.m. and I got 32 degrees and strong winds... I will let you know in the morning, being about 100 miles from you, you can get ready for what I am getting ....

Dont look like its going to get above freezing anytime soon, & now Wensday & Thursdays looking to be the worst chance for ice. Best of luck to all . Bob

22 here this morning and still very strong North wind, they say the high for us today will be 29, I know for some of you thats not bad ... we just are not geared for these extremes ..... no moisture yet, they say maybe this evening.

Bird · Dec 15, 2008

Yeah, they had forecast a low of 29-30, but now say it's actually 24 at the airport just north of us; north wind 21 mph, gusting to 31. But they've taken the moisture out of the forecast until a 30% chance tomorrow morning.

I think (hope) we finished up our Christmas shopping yesterday, though; even filled both vehicles with gas, and we have an ample supply of groceries and coffee in the house, so we should be comfortable as long as we don't have a power outage.

I loaded the cows up with hay yesterday afternoon when it was about 80 degrees. I even put their hay bales much closer to the woods so they wouldn't be out in the heavy, cold winds that were predicted. They looked at me like I was nuts THEN, but this morning I see they're all down by the woods, out of the cold north wind, eating that hay! Woke up to 23 this morning and I'm really hoping that possible ice tomorrow morning never happens. High today only going to 32 they're saying. With that steak restaurant we have, the wife definitely has to go out in/on it and so do I, unless it gets REAL bad, which I don't want to see happen anyway.
