OK Blizard of 2009

[Okie joe]

Guess I won't be smoking today.

[Richtee]

Hmmm why not? Well, the sun is down here... so what about tonight?

[crusty ol salt]

now dont let a little snow slow ya down... just kiddin'... i hope that it thaws soon.

we are 17 inches above normal for rain this year most of it coming in the last couple of months... this last weekend i had to put 2x8 across the swamp that used to be our backyard to get to the smokers...

[Richtee]

Ahhh...NOW I get it. Break out the cheese for smoking! Sheesh...ya nancy!

[Texas-Hunter]

Yeah, It's snowing here now... Hmmm Snow twice in less than a week in Dallas Texas... I really think some of these, The Sky Is Falling people and there Global Warming need a big cup of Shut The Hell Up!!


Other than that... Fire up the smoker and help add to this global warming problem...

[Slanted88]

No snow!...had a lil frost this morning....then into the low 50's. Dust that snow off & get after it!

Ya.. lived in Va Beach 5 yrs. You are correct. I'm finding Tulsa reactions and capability to deal with it at about the same level as Tidewater. But since it is so rare why bother? Oh, well.... sit home and fire the smoker up until God's snow plow comes by. (above freezing overnight low temps -- Ha)

PS - I left my shovel in Michigan so only moved snow off the back patio for the UDS to be used. Our neighborhood roads are still terrible.

Ok sorry but I couldn't resist!

Sorry about all that nasty weather! I hope you electricity stays on and you all stay warm and safe!

[Crewdawg52]

Nuthin that a broom and a shovel cant handle.................. Shoot, we wouldnt be doin ANY smokin from mid Dec to mid Mar if we let few little "white thingies" get in our way.........

Hope everything aok there fer ya!

16" Christmas here with 4' to 6' snowdrifts, near zero degrees since, another inch last night, another 1.5" today, New Years Eve dropping to 2 and New Years Day dropping below zero. another 1" to 2" forecasted for this weekend. My smokers are completely buried except for the gourmet electric that I put in the barn. Unfortunately the barn is 200' feet from the house. Too far to carry meat. So I won't be smoking anytime soon either. Although, we are thinking of moving our Ne Years clebration to the barn...its my idea anyhow. Wife and some friends aren't too excited about stretching out on bales with a wood stove nearby. Heck, no big deal for me. Done it many times. What does she think I am doing out there most days like this?

You guys in OK will get your snow melted soon and you'll be back in business. But, like your picture shows, a drum just don't look to happy with a few inches resting on top and around it.

[Fishawn]

Sheesh...ya nancy!

I'm sorry, that line just always cracks me up

[mulepackin]

I'm surely getting to hate winter the older I get too. The up side to it is plenty of natural refrigeration
