Out and About

We are getting more snow today. In fact, it looks like another five inches on top of the ten inches we received Tuesday. More is predicted this Sunday and next Wednesday a larger front is coming in with more snow. We just don't get this much snow in Oklahoma so we aren't prepared for it. Case in point:  The picture below is of our neighborhood streets. Can you find it?

When we finally got out of the house today, since last Monday I might add, we came upon someone digging the snow out from under his car tires. This is a common sight in the neighborhood.  It's not much better on the main streets that lead to major shopping centers.

We were on the way to buy groceries when we passed the local liquor store and we noticed how busy it was. In Oklahoma you can't buy wine in our grocery stores and only light beer.

The glass plant where our youngest son works.

When we got home we had the driveway and sidewalks cleared for a whopping $70. We felt with more snow coming it would be a good idea not to let it build up to high or we'd never be able to get out. These guys were going door to door.

I filled up both bird feeders and within an hour all the feed was gone. Red Winged Blackbirds were hogging all of it from my cardinals and chickadees. By the way, our grocery stores are out of everything. Trucks carrying food staples like meat, milk, eggs, butter, fresh fruit and veggies are not able to get in. They are stuck out on the interstates because of all the snow. And who knows when school will start back up. Saw a sign on facebook that showed the state of Oklahoma with the words "Oklahoma Closed".  That about sums it up.
