The owner of the business I work for was saying she heard some weather guys saying that upcoming cold air (late January/early February) would be cold air unseen or felt by anyone younger than 40 years. Can't wait!!

Winter Wx Advisory for the northern 2 rows of counties. Nothing major at all and probably isn't really advisory criteria.

Still corrupting young minds
Yep, it's headed your way...we are expecting about 5" of snow here in Aurora today and some more tomorrow and are supposed to be on the back edge of the real cold weather. The low is expected to get down to -5 tonight.
This was taken this morning about 10:00.....
I would to have a big snow fall in okc.
But what's coming is not going to amount to much. Tonight's OKC forecast:
A 30 percent chance of snow after midnight. Partly cloudy early, then becoming cloudy, with a low around 19. Windy, with a north wind 23 to 26 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. Total night time snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.
I am just wanting to say I hate our weather. We go some years and it's so mild there is almost no winter. This year it seems there has been one arctic front right after another. I hate the cold, and just can't get my body used to the really cold temps. I'm hoping that winter goes by really fast and spring weather comes back. I can't wait.
This snow in NC OK right now is heavy.
Looks like C OK will get some swung around later tonight/early morning. Should be much lighter, but then again the stuff out there right now is heavier than forecasted.
It's been snowing enough in Stillwater for the past hour to lightly coat streets white, with more snow on the radar coming in. Forecast has less than an inch to fall. Still well under that.
From the looks of the snow in Stillwater, more than just a dusting, I had been surprised that the NWS hadn't extended its winter advisory to more counties to the south. But it just did. It now includes Blaine; Custer; Dewey; Kingfisher; Logan and Payne Counties until 7 am Sunday.
Message summary: ...winter weather advisory in effect until 7 am cst this morning...
The national weather service in norman has issued a winter weather advisory for snow...which is in effect until 7 am cst this morning.
* timing: the heaviest snow is expected from around 2 to 4 am. The snow will end from west to east overnight. Lingering flurries will be possible after sunrise.
* main impact: accumulations around an inch or 2 are possible. This will result in slick and hazardous driving conditions.
* other impacts: gusty north winds will create areas of reduced visibilities in blowing snow. The winds and colder air will also create wind chill values close to zero.
Blowing snow coming in pretty good in north Norman at the moment.
This is what it looks like in NW OKC as of 4:25 this morning:
OK... quit sending that cold crap down here. It was 70 yesterday and 30 today WTH
View of the west side of OSU. Temp around 19.
Give the NWS more time to change it's mind. It has revised tonight's low down from 10 to 4, possibly to allow for more snow on the ground than was previously thought. But Tuesday's high still the same at 43.
So . . . It was 7-deg. this am. Here's a shot taken at Lake Hefner when it was about 90-deg. warmer.
It helps to warm me up and put things in perspective.
(I hate cold weather. Almost as much as I hate anything over 90. =)
(My "comfort zone" is between 42-deg. and 80-deg. which make me a wuss.)
Every time I hear how cold it is up at International Falls, or Duluth, Minnesota, I think how tough people must be up in Dog River, Canada.
Or even up around Possum Lodge.
Since the beginning of December, it seems all storms do not get established until being east of OK. This has been the pattern for a while now, with a few exceptions. Moisture return and storm track have been unfavorable this winter, thus far.
I think this has to do with ongoing drought conditions in much of W TX and W OK, in addition to overall jetstream patterns.
Looking long range into January, it appears that once again storms are not ramping up until they are just east of the state. We could be in for a dry and rollercoaster temperatured remainder of winter. I was really hoping to get a good snowstorm or two in OK this season, but right now it just doesn't look promising on any front.
I was noticing the same thing, which is why nothing has been posted about the next few storms - that all get going once they pass OK. Though the 12Z GFS does seem to bring in a good round of rain on Friday...but still too warm for any snow.
