2 days ago we had the lowest high daily temp on record.  One of the 
latest snowfalls also.  Ice storms in April!!!  By Monday the temp wil 
be in the mid 80's, then on Wed it starts all over again.  Oklahoma was 
never this extreme when I was younger.  We would have a few weeks in 
April and early May with the severe weather, then summer would settle in 
with maybe 4 days of 100+ temps.  Now, it is either in the frying pan or 
the ice box.  This is the first "spring" in 3 years we have some 
moisture.  I am working on the sprayer to get the weeds knocked down...
