It has been a while since I last posted online. It has been a busy semester for me. The winter storm we had in February was a fairly strong storm. Not as storm as the Christmas Eve Blizzard but packed a punch that hit the entire state. Sleet began to fall Monday night (Jan 31, 2011) and came down heavy enough for their to be lightning and thunder. After midnight, it changed over to snow. The winds picked up and there was no return. By the morning of Feb 1st, the winds were strong out of the north blowing up to 50 mph. Temperatures were cold with the high temperature at 19 (wind chill -5).
It made for an interesting day. I have never been in a blizzard considering I'm from Virginia. Im amazing at how the state handled the situation. The National Weather Service in Tulsa said if the power went out in the area that this would be a humanitarian disaster. The University of Oklahoma handled the snow well. Sidewalks were plowed so students could get to the caf. All I know, it made for a cold bike ride around campus.
