Never trust Springtime in Oklahoma


Over the weekend we had an interesting weather development in Oklahoma City. There was a tornado watch and a blizzard warning at the same time! Fortunately, we had no tornado, and the blizzard gave us just a smattering of snow. However, our Northwest neighbors in Woodward, Oklahoma received two feet of the white stuff, with drifts up to seven feet tall.

Although we were lucky to dodge that bullet, my spring flowers were not very happy with the turn of events. Even though the temps were in the 80's a couple of weeks ago, this is why I never turn my back on the Oklahoma weather:

Hey! Those pics look like what happens at our place in the spring sometimes. Except that it's in May.

Glad to hear no twisters came your way.

We get snows like that here in Michigan too--hate to see it on the Daffs and Tulips, but somehow they manage to recover and bloom on.
