It’s Gettin’ Close…..

…. and I’m way behind….. I don’t know if I can get away with blaming the weather, but, I’ll give it a shot….. Not only was I without power for a full week, two days after OG&E replaced the downed lines and had everything up and running, I had power spikes and loss of power [...]

Frozen In…..

Back to the above ground electric lines….. Here, in Oklahoma, they are on the ground…. Over 600,000 customers without power, which includes yours truly since Sunday night around 10 pm….. That’s households and businesses, not people…. You would need to multiply by 2 or 3 or so to get a ballpark figure on the number [...]

Simple Physics

A plane is flying west to east the pilot See’s a full circle rainbow. 1.) Where’s the sun in relation to the plane? 2.) Where’s the plane’s shadow in relation to the rainbow? 3.) Where’s the rain in relation to the plane?

FZ is stuck in Coffeyville…..

Yep, it’s true…… I recently ordered two new FZ DVD’s – “Dub Room Special” and “Apostrophe/Over-nite Sensation” from Amazon….. They processed the order and charged my credit card….. Today I got this e-mail: Hello from Amazon.com. We’re writing to let you know that a shipment from your order #103-8257277-5232602 has been delayed due to the [...]

Hide Me!……

Today, in OKC, we are experiencing our 15th straight day of rain, which breaks all recorded rainfall records and it’s still coming down…… Of course, this doesn’t mean continuous rain, but, precipitation in some amount on every day…… This started on the 13th, which, just so happens to be the exact day I returned from [...]

Fire and Ice…..

I know I’ve said this before, but anyone out there who doesn’t live in Oklahoma that wants to switch living places with me, just let me know…… The last two days we have had sustained winds from 30 mph to 50 mph with temps in the 50′s and 60′s causing numerous wildfires….. Tomorrow a major [...]

Thunder and Lightning!………

I’m a bit slow on getting this posted, but, J.J.’s weather compliant made me think it was time….. If you remember my North to Alaska (Almost) post, I stated that I did bring an official Oklahoma Thunderstorm to Seattle…… Check-out this picture that was taken that day!……. That IS the Space Needle on the right….. [...]

It’s Mid-August Here….

I truly believe Global warming is a fact….. We have serious calendar slippage here…. We’re going into the sixth day straight with temperatures above 90 degrees…. Yesterday it reached 98 (a new record and 26 degrees above normal) in the OKC area (100 and above at other locations) and the wind was blowing out of [...]

C.A.S.A. de Weather?…..

This one’s aimed at HS University….. I heard that they have an outstanding meteorology department there with direct connection to the National Storms lab in Norman, Oklahoma…. I caught a little bit on this on a local TV weather broadcast…. C.A.S.A., which I assume is an abbreviation for something (hence the periods I put in), [...]

Snow?

We have this white stuff all over the ground here in Oklahoma, I’m scared what is it?

Fire on the Mountain……

…..And across the plains, of Oklahoma, that is…… I don’t know for sure if I’m responsible for the recent firestorms that are raging across Oklahoma or not, but I made a post on the 13th of October – Weather or Not? about all the weird weather that was happening around the world and the possible [...]

Weather or not?……..

What’s the deal with all the weird weather events all over the world this year?…… Has God (or whatever deity you choose to, or not to, believe in) decided to remove us vile destructive humans from the face of the Earth before we have the chance to wipe each other out on our own (we’ve [...]

Senators to the rescue!……

Did you see the senators on national TV giving their take on what should be done in order to help pay for the storm damage caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita (Not Lovely Rita as in Sgt. Pepper’s)?…….. The two that really stuck out in my mind was the one (I don’t remember the individual [...]

Too Hot, Too Cold, Too Windy….

That’s the three types of weather we have in Oklahoma – Too Hot, Too Cold, Too Windy or any combination of the three…… Rain doesn’t factor in because we have so little of it and when we do have rain, it usually is traveling about 35-50 MPH accompanied by a severe thunderstorm or a tornado…. [...]
