Cold air moving south from Colorado?

Well, there's a lot of warm air moving towards Oklahoma from the gulf, so I guess that means we have to start tying up our trash cans with ropes to keep them from blowing away. Just our usual little Spring Fling. Hope I can make it to July with my roof intact this year.

The snow arrived, too, didn't it? Postponed the banquet. I got an email saying they should have the new date firmed up by tomorrow afternoon.

Well, those moving air masses turned out to meet heavily east of Okla City...
we only had rain and hail here in Norman....my dog thought the hail was a new form of treats ;)

these new radars these news stations have are mind-boggling..... :eek: and the way they can track EXACTLY the intersection of any wall cloud or lowering or circulation.

The banquet is now next Sunday, April 17. Hopefully, that doesn't mean another snowstorm!
