White Christmas!

We're in the midst of quite a winter storm at the moment in NE Oklahoma (screenshot courtesy WeatherChannel.com):

There has been a pretty heavy downfall of sleet pellets for the last few hours. Actually, that's not quite right. The wind is roughly 20-25 mph gusting to 40+ mph, so it's more of a blast of sleet pellets than a gentle downfall. I had to step outside to bring in presents that stayed in the Rogue overnight due to our late arrival, and let's just say that was... invigorating.

The Rogue isn't used to this weather. I think TR is shivering:

Brrr

Brrr. The forecasts suggest this stuff will turn to snow later, so I think a White Christmas is definitely on tap here in NE Oklahoma. Here's wishing you a great one, whatever the weather!

UPDATE: A few hours later, the sleet pellets are starting to turn to snow:

Turning to snow

UPDATE 2: Last photo before sunset.

Snowy Xmas

We're definitely in for a White Christmas!
