Icy Weather In Oklahoma

"Our weekend snow in Perry, Oklahoma began Saturday with a misty rain changing to tiny snowflakes. That afternoon there were slick spots on nearby highways and wrecks began to happen. Even our choir directors sister hit an icy spot and the car spun around into the other lane of traffic(fortunately no cars were approaching) sliding across the highway, hit a ditch and rolled 3 times before striking a fence and bouncing back to the ditch landing on its top. Her seatbelt prevented any injuries and she crawled out of a rear passenger window. Using her cell phone, she called her sister and asked her to call Dad in Anadarko. She didn''t want to hear the alarm in his voice. The OHP trooper working the accident said that if she'd been going faster than 40 mph, it would have been much more serious than 'just' totaling the car. She was able to go to work later in the day.

Sunday the sun came out. It warmed up and melted our 1-1/2" of snow and that evening we had a large attendance at our church''s Christmas Village for our cantata, and both the choir director''s sister and her dad were there to enjoy it." -- Roy Kendrick - Email: roykendrick@oklahomahistory.net
