So this morning I was driving to work, no snow on the roads, just the grassy areas. After I got inside my work, 10 minutes later, glanced outside the window and there was already 3 inches of snow already on the roads sticking. I was like, 'looks like I'm getting off work today'. My manager told us we were off today and Friday, so he bought us some donuts, bagels and orange juice for driving to work.

We're suppose to get around 16" of snow today non-stop until 6am Friday in Denver. The mountains will get about 22" of new snow. Just letting you know that it feels good being off work on a day like this.

Rain, fog, and 40 degress here and rain through Sunday. Has been as high as 75 already, actually need to mow my yard if it wasn't raining. Well that and my car on jackstands blocking my lawnmower in the garage.

We'll get one more storm, but it's not happening this week.

Remember getting enough snow the Thursday before one May long weekend that the town I was living in shut down -- the only way to get around was by snowmobile.

Snow is fun to play in or be in it for a week. I couldn't stand living in it.I was in Indy last year for work when it snowed hard. Luckily my rental was an AWD SUV because it seemed all the roads I took hadn't been plowed yet.

But it does make it fun to do donuts in the parking lot of the location you are opening and almost hitting one of the VP's rental cars. Luckily he thought it was funny.

WOW, lots of snow. I'm sure we might get one more snow storm here too. I have yet to take my winter tires off yet, just in case. I remember getting snow in previous years in April, so there is still a chance. For now, I'm glad its clear out. I'm sick and tired of winter. At least you got to go home from work. Have fun!

Wow... glad its there not here, but as a few have already mentioned, its more than likely we will get another storm here before summer arrives.

Same here. I'll likely leave my winters on for another month, they're calling for a small snow storm on Sunday here but nothing like last weekend when we got a good 10 inches overnight. Took me 20 minutes just to get all the snow off of the roof of my V, before the fun driving took place.

Yeah, Tulsa got hit by the tail of this same storm as it passed through Kansas & northern Oklahoma. Some of the heavier snowfall I've seen in a while, but it was just above freezing all say, so accumulation was kind of two steps forward, one back. Which is fine by me. Not to mention the 2" sod temperature is around 46 degrees.

Slushy mess out there now and countless fools in SUVs and trucks who think they are invincible in such conditions have found themselves in the ditch.

We've seen temperatures well over 80 degrees several times in the past few weeks, trees are mostly leafed out, and even the bermudagrass has been greening up. Even in the coldest winter months we rarely see pure snow like this, Tulsa mostly gets freezing rain and other formats of ice storms.

It'll be near 60 degrees tomorrow, though, so at least the slush will be short lived.
