Re: I Am Riding The Storm Out In Oklahoma
We ended up with a foot of powder, 6* now and all the schools are closed and most likely tomorrow as well. At the end of My road is 19 acres of woods . The Amish moved in a sawmill last week and yesterday a team of Horses . I don't know how they stand the cold but they are some tough people.

Re: I Am Riding The Storm Out In Oklahoma
We are looking for 12-14" of snow today. so far not much wind. not supposed to get much above 20* all week. I'd rather have snow than ice, we have had some ice storms that left the roads looking like a war zone with downed trees and limbs, then you can bet the power will be out. Stay safe Guys.
