That’s a line from “Cold Turkey” by John Lennon…… Right now it fits Oklahoma – We keep jumping from Spring to Summer to Winter – back to Summer, etc…… I’ll make this short and not-so-sweet – “The Climate it’s a ‘Changin’ “ It was 94 degrees in OKC yesterday, this broke the existing high record […]
April 26, 1991: 1991 – APR – 26 Weather Event This won’t ring a bell for you Seattle-ites, but at least Jek will know what I’m talking about.
An appropriate song title from James Taylor that fits the Oklahoma Weather this year…… The western half of the state, along with most of west Texas, has been consumed by wildfires, better known as “Firestorms”, while the eastern half of the state has been getting more than it’s share of thunderstorms and Tornadoes….. The latest […]
This is to give you a little insight into how MR’s brain works….. I know, there’s lots of short circuits and blown fuses in there….. Most of you should know by now that I’m a history buff, and, that I believe by having a knowledge of history, we, (as in all human kind), could and […]
Yup – Oklahoma is the new Great White North (at least to Texas)…… Over the past week, we have had record breaking snow and more is predicted for the coming week….. Oklahoma is known for it’s quick changing weather, and we’ve been getting it….. Last Saturday, January 29, we set a new high – 76 […]
Just a few pics of the aftermath.
That’s right, Skiattle….. Remember me telling everyone about how little snow and ice Seattle gets?…. Well, I guess it just takes a visit from me to screw it all up!….. It’s like 19 degrees out there right now (the high for the day is supposed to be a scorching 27 degrees) and there is SNOW […]
OK, what’s going on up there in the Great Northwest…… eh?….. I just saw on the news that you’ve got eight (8) separate wildfires going along with enough rain to cause mudslides afterwards….. I guess you can have your home burned down and mud slid away in the same day…… Not Good!….. If you North […]
……Free Sauna – just step outside…… The heat index in OKC yesterday was 111 degrees – Actual temp was 96 degrees…. The seven day forecast is for more of the same – high 90’s to triple digits (shade temp) – 105 to 115 degrees (Heat Index)…… This is due to all the excessive rain we […]
I would’ve Posted this sooner, but, there was this visit from Jek….. He proceeded to re-invent my computer and reorganize everything!….. As soon as he left MR HQ, P.D. Bob decided he didn’t like any outsider (to him) messin’ about with the layout of things – so-o-o, he promptly reorganized everything to his liking….. Needless […]
I know, It’s the same old bitch about the electric companies again…… We’re in an ongoing Freezing Rain/Ice/Sleet/Snow storm right now, and, the power outages are already above the 150,000 mark….. In the 2007 Ice Storm over 600,000 were without power, and, some areas did not have power restored for over 4 WEEKS!….. According to […]
The earthquake in Haiti got me to thinking….. There’s a small town called Jones about 4 miles from where I live….. Usually they have 2 to 3 small earthquakes a year – about a 2.0 to 2.5, but, in the last 3 months, they have had over 30, yes 30 earthquakes!….. The highest being a […]
Yep, Hosers, it’s been below freezing here in the Heartland almost constantly since even before the record breaking blizzard we had on Christmas Eve….eh?… Snow everywhere (even yellow snow) and c-o-o-l-l-d…… So-o-o, we’ve been annexed into the British Empire via Canada…. Take Off, eh?…… Here’s the details…… I woke up yesterday with a Royal Canadian […]
How’s those temps been the last week or so up there in the Great Northwest…. eh?….. Yep, I thought I would send you Northwesterners just a little taste of our Oklahoma summertime weather…. I wasn’t able to include the usual high humidity that we have though, but, I think you got the general idea….. I’ve […]
Yep, that’s the forecasted temps for the OKC area for the next three days…… We’ve been in the triple digits for the past few days, and, it looks like it will continue out past the three days, and we are one of the, dare I say, cool spots in the state…… The panhandle area is […]
