We have been snowed in for the last four days. With 16 inches of snow, Oklahoma isn't prepared for this. Luckily for my family, I was prepared. I had a freezer of meat, a pantry of can goods, and lots of new recipes. We have had fresh rolls, roast, and lots of new combinations of vegetables. I had also made a trip to the library for a bag of books. I also made a trip to the gas station and filled all the vehicles (especially my 4-wheel drive truck) with gas. I also brought back to gas cans filled for the generator. I was ready. We never lost electricity. So the generator has stayed in the barn, but the rest of the supplies have been a blessing.
It is amazing a few miles makes. The highway just a mile from my house is covered with ice. It is only drivable with 4-wheel drive. The highway 11 miles away is clean. Why? Because the highway department leaves the removal of snow to each county. How unfortunate for those who live in a county that doesn't plan well!
