NW Okie's Journey

Sixty-six years ago, Gene and Vada (Paris) McGill added a third daughter to their growing family. It was in the dead of Winter and a supposedly snow storm was brewing in Northwest Oklahoma (as the story goes) when Vada went into labor at their ranch North of Waynoka.

In 1948, was there a snow storm brewing outside on the 25th of February? Family stories tell of a Winter snow storm the morning Gene had to borrow a vehicle from a neighbor to rush Vada to the hospital in Alva, sometime during the early morning hours (not sure what time), of 25 February 1948, when Linda Kay was brought into this world by Dr. Traverse, at Alva Municipal Hospital, in Alva, Oklahoma.

I wish I had access to the Alva Newspapers archives online for searching on that date here in Southwest Colorado. Can someone in Northwest Oklahoma look up the winter weather conditions for Northwest Oklahoma for 25 February 1948?

Winter Weather Report 02/25/1048

We did take a look back at the Official Weather Source for Alva, Oklahoma, 02/25/1948, and we found the Max. temperature was 44F; Mean Temperature was 38F; and Min. temperature was 32F.

As to next week, we will be blowing with the March winds down to the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas for a couple of weeks, getting prepared, ready to finish putting in the permanent right breast implant and reconstruction on the left breast. And visiting an old friend (Ellen) that is like a sister to me, and also my godson. The surgery takes place on the 11th March, but the pre-op stuff is scheduled for the 4th March. I will be using MyVallecito via EarthCam along the way to and in Houston.

Good Night, Good Luck! Que Sera Sera! We Shall Overcome!   |  View or Add Comments (4 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
