[AT] Oklahoma Weather

[Cecil R Bearden]

Well 32deg and raining now, sleet and snow to the west of us.  It 
depends on how fast it approaches whether we get ice or sleet or 
snow.     Just waiting for the internet to shut down as our wifi antenna 
is getting iced up and response is slow.
Thought about getting a long pvc pipe and a leaf blower with the propane 
torch to provide some heat to thaw it out.    However my thrift store 
leaf blower has not been checked out!!
