Oklahoma Weather

"1/14/2007 -- Perry, Oklahoma has not yet lost power anytime during this major winter storm. Also, it didn't experience any more "stuff" falling from the skies last night. However, we began having tiny sleet pellets (smaller than the tiniest BB's) begin again about 10 AM this (Sunday) morning and it became very foggy. The fog has lifted now so that visibility is about a mile (I can see some of the hills that surround this little valley) and there's very little sleet falling at this moment (11:20 AM Sunday). So far as I know, all of the churches did finally cancel their services (in the interest of the member's safety). Most of the towns that are 25 (or so) miles away from us have experienced much worse weather conditions than here in Perry.

Yesterday afternoon the local youngsters began dragging out sleds (and anything else that would slide on this stuff) and sliding on every small hill they could find. I saw several sliding on the sidewalk across the street from me and then twisting enough that the sled would glide completely across the First Baptist Church parking lot and even twisting again to travel down another sidewalk for about another 25 feet. Oh to be a kid again...nI almost wanted to join them, however since I don't wish to break my 52 year record of no hospitalization, I (wisely) decided not to join them." -- Roy K.
