Snow Pictures Part 2!

Here is Part 2 of my hundreds of pictures I've taken throughout this past week!

 Coming home from work the sky was completely split by the coulds!

 The snow drifts.

 Even though we got over 14 inches, the snow drifts were 3-4 feet in my area and over 8 feet in other areas! Remi loves jumping the snow hurdles!  She's such a snow dog, maybe I should sen her up for the Ididirod!

 Oklahoma's Mogels!

 Neighborhood Kiddos and Family sledding! I just love the little kid froliking up the hill!

 This little boy came over to see Remi and threw her dummie a few times.  She's so good with kids, I can't wait for her to have her own little rugrats to play with!

Well I hope you've enjoyed my pictures explosion of the snow storm!  It's melting away slowly, but Weather men are saying were suppose to get another blast starting Tuesday.  So we'll see!  Enjoying the Snow!

Oklahoma's Snowpacalypse!

That's what I've heard the news calling it!  It is beautiful!  We hit a record high of snowfall of 14 inches and 20 inches in surrounding cities!  I heard only around 40-50 accounts of power outages, so hopefully that was it and they have gotten that turned back on for those people.  The Hard Rock Casino's roof collapsed, lots and lots of people got stuck trying to get to work, plow/salt trucks were stuck, police cars were stuck, and I saw a couple of EMSA on the news not able to get through intersections.  They said fire trucks were having to go to pick the EMSA's patients up and take them to the hospital. I had to change the channel, but there's not a lot on T.V. during the day.  The News just kept talking about the snow...Hello, we all know it's snowing a blizzard out there, you don't have to keep repeating yourself.  I am however thankful for the news team and the emergency personnel that were able to get to their jobs to keep the rest of us informed and safe.  My dad got stuck and finally made it back to his neighborhood and got stuck again before he actually made it home.  He said he saw a public transportation bus stuck in Jenks.  So it's been a wild couple of days for us down here!

This is my second day of no work.  I can't get out of the driveway let alone down my cul-de-sac.  A co-worker was going to try to pick me up yesterday, but she couldn't get out of her area with her 4-wheel drive Jeep.  She grew up in Colorado, so if she can't get out...that was bad!  So again today, she was going to come pick me up.  She called and said it's not happening again.  She said she'd gotten to the road and there were about 4-5 other trucks/SUV/Jeeps in front of her who had all gotten stuck and they were trying to dig each other out, so she was trying to find a way to turn around and go back home.  She also said she plowed through snow drift up to her windows and saw drifts on the side of the road (which had bot been treated) that were as tall as her Jeep!  So here I am at home again with not a lot to do.  I will go get bundled up and play in the snow again with Remi.  Perhaps I will do some cleaning and laundry too.  But that just doesn't sound fun at all!

Remi and I went out on a few play outings yesterday.  In the streets, there were some areas where the snow came past my knee!  Remi literally disappeared in some of the snow drifts around the house!  I loved seeing just her tail wagging at the very top of the drift! So cute.  I took several pictures and will take some more today I'm sure.  Remi had a BLAST playing in the snow.  We went to the neighborhood park and played up and down the streets.  We weren't gone long, but the snow was coming down so fast that our tracks were completely filled back in on our way home.  As we walked down the street, I saw several of the neighborhood kiddos in their windows waving to us, they love Remi...They actually looked really sad that they weren't out in the snow.  Hopefully they were able to get out later in the day. 

Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of Remi from yesterday!

I thought I had a black doogie!

 Jumping through the snow...I love this one!

Hope you all are having warm and safe SNOWPACALYPSE days!  More snow pictures to come!

And the Thunder Rolls!

WINTER STORM!

...So Oklahoma is in for it!  We are preparing for what seems like the worst ever Winter storm that Oklahoma has ever had!  For my Up North friends, you're probably thinking you silly girl!  But really for us down south, this is craziness!  We are in the midst of a Blizzard warning/watch...I don't know the difference...with an expected snow fall of 12-18 inches!  The record is 12.9'' back in March 1994. Craziness!

I'm in the line of the pretty purple and luscious red...maybe we'll only get the expected 8''.

So the winter storm just started up here in town about an hour ago...I heard little piter pater of the sleet/freezing rain...again don't know the difference, but pretty sure freezing rain is worse...and then the thunder and lightening!  I love thunder and lightening storms.  If I were a true aspiring photographer, I would be out in the middle of all the getting some great lightening shots...but, I'm gonna just continue to hang out on my couch watching me some Criminal Minds marathon and munching on some yummy cookies.

Mike got us all caught up with the necessities for our winter storm...you know Beer, Wine, and Crown...the necessities!  Made me laugh...but really he did get to the grocery store and get some sandwich meat, chips, and who knows what else.  He said it was MADNESS!!  All lanes were open and every lane had at least 8-9 people waiting.

Mike's Necessities :)

I miss the days of seeing SCHOOL'S OUT on the news...I so wish that WORK'S OUT would run across the bottom of the screen.  Working at a hospital....it doesn't shut down for weather, and they expect you to be there No. Matter. What. 

I did do an extra group today if I'm not able to make it in tomorrow, but Mike said we will leave a 8:00 in hopes to get safely to work by 9:30.  We'll see. 

So with all this crazy weather going on, please pray for no power outages, safe travels, no farty dog in bed, and lots of pretty snow pictures!  I am looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings. 

Also please pray that Mike's truck gets fixed soon...it broke down on Saturday night, he had it towed to our mechanic today and he wasn't able to get to it today, and said hopefully tomorrow if the weather allows him to get to work.  So fingers crossed that sweet Bill will be able to get in and fix Mike's truck.

Alright All, stay warm and stay safe if you must travel in the coming days!
