Zany Weather - 70 degrees and then snow



Ok, I like variety in weather and everything - Oklahoma has a perfect combination of the best of all seasons. We get winter nicely (not like the east coast or Minnesota, but nicely), we get a great spring, a very decent summer, and a gorgeous fall (think Virginia). But, we generally don't get the best of two seasons within a week. Well, January 2006 is turning into one of those beasts. It was 65 degrees New Year's Eve and it has been spring-like weather since then. Last night it *snowed* (gasp, it's winter!), and it is 29 degrees outside. Below is a picture of my front yard foyer area - about 2 inches of snow as you can see. Now, the weird thing - this past Saturday it was over 70 degrees and I was in shorts washing the truck and doing other summer-ish chores. Thursday (2 days from now), it will be near (or over) 70 degress again. So, within a week, we get SoCal-type weather, freezing temperatures, snow, and then back up to mild summer weather. Variety is good, but all within a week? All we need now is a tornado to finish the package. Bizarre. I am going to go watch The Day After Tomorrow again.
