    I didn't know there was snow in OK too. The big news was all about the Northeast.

    Do you usually get a lot of snow in Oklahoma? It looks pretty far south.

    Only snow flurries and a light dusting.

    We got almost a foot of snow over two days. I was too busy shoveling, to take pictures. Still have some to finish up today. It was wet & heavy snow. Took my wife to a Doctor appointment at 3PM & had a little light, fine snow coming home. I hope the guy who is dreaming of a White Christmas wakes up soon.:rolleyes:

    I've been trying to get a good picture of Christmas lights at night with this new phone. It's almost impossible to get good colors. Maybe I need a tripod. They only look halfway decent when it's not too dark outside. Otherwise all the lights show up red.

    This was taken Sunday at a little town out in the country just before dark. It is also strange looking, but at least you see some green and blue.

    I don't know what the heck I'm doing with that camera. Just start pressing buttons and see what happens. If it worked I wouldn't remember what I did anyway. Too much to learn. :(

    Maybe look for YouTube tutorials for your phone/camera ? That is one of my main go-to’s for instruction.

    Sometime we do:
    Climate Averages
    Oklahoma City, Oklahoma /United States
    Average annual snowfall in Oklahoma compared to the USA in general:
    35.6 in. 38.1 in.

    We've had about eleven inches this year. That's in Norman. Some places have had much more.
    We are about as far south as the Red River, then big ole Texas. Southern Texas is tropical. Out
    here in the plains country there is not much between us and the North Pole except a few fences;
    some of them are barbed wire fences.. What does that mean? Strong north, cold winds and
    blowing snow.

    I'm surprised at that much snow!

    You reminded me of a friend from long ago who grew up in Oklahoma. She said the weather was very predictable because the only thing around to stop it were the fences (she didn't really say it like that, but the same thing).

    She also said the weather would change quickly, could be warm in the morning and cold by the afternoon, and you had to carry a coat to school in the morning, just to wear home in the afternoon. Maybe it's different now.

    Hope you get no more ice storms.

    Is it different now? Not so much.
    Regarding ice storms, me, too.

    12/17/2020 - Thursday

    I've already mentioned the little town (pop. 354) north of here on the way to the farm. Just a 4-way stop. Name is derived from the Choctaw language meaning "dead." It's not dead at Christmas. They do a lot of decorating.

    On the way home I pulled off the road to get a picture of a large Christmas tree in the middle of town. Just when I finally got all the settings adjusted on the phone camera, a big chicken truck pulled up at the stop and blocked the view.

    Both roads were backed up with traffic in both directions. Headlights were not playing nice with the camera anyway, so I took it and moved on.

    I don't remember ever seeing a chicken truck before moving to Georgia. Last I checked Georgia is #1 in the production of broilers. Not peaches, not peanuts. Huge chicken houses all over in the country. The bad thing is to get behind a chicken truck on a two lane road. The good thing is, they usually go fast.
