Since I was happy to stay at home during the Oklahoma Blizzard I missed out on getting some good pictures. I searched the local news stations but didn't find anything blog worthy. I did find some good examples of the force of the 60+ mph winds right down the street though.
See how the wind blew the snow up into a ridge and left the grass exposed at the same time?And here, this looks like the sand at the beach after the waves pull back. Just beautiful.But still, I wanted to see how the storm had affected people. Enter Facebook. My friend Mindy had these and I had to have them.
This is a car that is stuck at a busy intersection in the next town. No really, there's a car in there.See!They're making progress.Can you believe there was a car in there? It took a little over five hours to free it. Amazing!And today, 14 days later, we still have piles of snow hanging around. And I slipped on packed ice three times on the way to school.
Now that's a storm!
Yikes! Digging that car out had to be fun...NOT! We got more snow this morning--only an inch or two, but enough to have school be 2 hours late! I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG, LONG winter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Oh how those pictures remind me of the 1969 and '76 blizzards in Chicago!
ReplyDeleteI was commenting today to Doc that we still had piles of the Christmas Eve snow here in Lubbock, very unusual.
I agree with sportzmom, it is going to be a LONG winter, sigh :(
good grief...can't imagine having to dig that car out of that snow!
ReplyDeleteKeep warm!
