May 16, 2010 Posted Under: photography, weather

This afternoon I was watching the NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic when it was interrupted by a weather advisory.  They were telling about a storm that was moving into the Northwest side of Oklahoma City.  I quickly grabbed my camera and went to take some pictures.  The photo above was [...]

I Love Spring

May 14, 2010 Posted Under: Personal, weather

It was interesting that on my last post I was complaining that we have not had any rain.  I was telling the world how dry it was here and that I still have not had to mow my lawn.  It has rained three times since then and is raining at the moment.  I am off [...]

Holy Cow!

This video speaks for itself as being a close up shot of a lightning strike.  I did not film this though the person that did film it said it was right here in Oklahoma City.  I can believe it because we have some pretty scary lightning around here at times.  Ironically I was searching for [...]

False Science of Climate Change

I don’t know about you but I am just about fed up with this whole man is destroying the earth mantra from the left wing whackos.  Lately we have been making jokes and poking fun at them by showing all these snow storms and asking them where the global warming was.  These people have swallowed [...]

Still Frozen

This morning we got out of the house to survey the storm mess.  I took some photos this morning to see some of the ice.  As you can see this picture was taken looking directly into the front door of the house.  I knew I better take this photo first thing in the morning because [...]

Another Ice Storm

Jan 29, 2010 Posted Under: weather

On January 28, 2010 we started off the morning dry and cold.  Before long the rain moved in and the temperature dropped.  By 10:00 AM the boss had decided to send everyone home because the roads were getting icy.  It took us a whole hour to get from our parking lot to the gate to [...]

Christmas Eve Snowstorm

Dec 24, 2009 Posted Under: Christmas, Events, Personal, holiday, weather

Wow!  We often complain about never having snow here in Oklahoma City.  Most of the time if we do have winter weather, it ends up being sleet or freezing rain.  Yesterday it was a nice 65 degrees and we were really enjoying it.  This morning I woke up at 6:00 AM and it was raining.  [...]

Conflicted on Storm

Jul 18, 2009 Posted Under: opinion, weather

I have made it clear over time of my love for storms.  Maybe I am weird but I just find the storms enjoyable.  On Thursday July 16, 2009 we had a surprise storm that I found to be a dream come true.  This storm was sudden and small in size thought it caused some damage [...]

Summer in Oklahoma City

Jul 12, 2009 Posted Under: Events, Oklahoma City, weather

  I guess it is that time again.  The photo above shows the temperature as 109 degrees while the National Weather Service only listed the high as 105.  Oklahoma gets a little of both cold and hot.  This is fairly common temperatures to get in summer though it only happens about two weeks each year.  [...]

Boy Was I Wrong?

Jun 30, 2009 Posted Under: Personal, digital photography, opinion, photography, weather

It is not that often that a person can get it so wrong that it brings fear to them.  Just 30 minutes ago I was complaining about the rain always missing us. This evening was shaping up to be another one of those evenings where there is a line of thunderstorms that goes completely across [...]
