NE Oklahoma, Snowing here, again!. I have never seen so much snow on the ground. We've had about 10 inches overnight and it isn't supposed to stop until late in the evening. We are still digging out from the snow last week. Only 12 degrees, with a windchill of 2.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but it's got a lot of clay in the soil.

It rained a lot that year, I remember this so clearly, my husband walked across the back yard, and every step he took, he got more mud on his boots.

Snowing here I can almost see the flakes. but the car is covered (about enough to use the wipers). I tried to go out to pick up the mail from the box. I had my ice creepers on.. The snow is so hard those ice creepers couldn't break it even with my 145lbs I did creep down to the car door to see if I could get in there. No Way..... Car Door frozen shut even though I used Vaseline on the rubber seals and sprayed the hinges and catches with antifreeze the car was able to be entered last Saturday when my son came He even got it started but it wouldn't move it's frozen to the gravel driveway. I usually have no trouble with snow on that gravel driveway. and the creepers are my way of getting around on snow and ice. but with partially melted snow then the ice storm and the sleet then 10 inches of snow some more sleet. and several days of flurries the snow is almost like granite. and of course night time temps @ 3, 10, 15, 10 and wind chills below 0 there is no way this old woman is getting out of her home....right now I call it my prison. and I think I am going 'stir crazy'... My son took me me to Aldi's for groceries last Saturday. but I do not like their coffee. we were supposed to stop at another place for the coffee. but it was getting late and he wanted to get home before his wife. so we didn't stop. I have enough coffee for maybe 2 or 3 days. then I might start yelling and screaming and kicking.
