Then it began Friday before noon as sleet. Then came the freezing rain.
Now I have at least 3" of ice on my patio table outside and MORE is coming.
It will not get much above freezing for the next week.
Wednesday's low is forecast at 8F degrees as the cloud cover leaves us.
Lots of water pipes will break.
The bus service is closed, the airport is basically closed.
I have power & Cable. But only one can of beer left.
Things are getting desperate.
As W.C. Fields said:
"Once, while in the wilds of Africa, we lost our only corkscrew and were forced to subsist on food and water for several days."
Then more white stuff is scheduled for next week-end.
Sublimation is our only hope.
Ice storm can't stop Chili Bowl
It is the biggest annual sports event in the city, generating about $12 million in economic impact for Tulsa.
There's not a seat available anywhere in the building and hasn't been for years.
And that simple fact, nothing stops this show, may be the secret to the success of the Chili Bowl, which concluded its 21st year at the Expo Center on Saturday night.
It was cold, ugly and the city was being brought to a halt by the weather on Saturday. No problem. The Chili Bowl went on as scheduled.
TULSA, Okla. (January 13, 2007) – Two-time NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Tony Stewart added another Golden Driller trophy to his collection as he raced to victory lane in Saturday night's 50-lap O'Reilly Chili Bowl Nationals championship feature event. Chilibowl.com
There were a dozen roll-over wrecks last night and that was just in the parking lot! LOL!

Of course I say that cause we haven't seen a flake of snow all winter. Rumor has it our turn is coming but it's not here yet. So, I think that picture is beautiful still.
