The weathermen started talking about it about four days before it hit (these guys really are much better than they were 20 years ago!). The forecasted track of the storm was changed several times but was always near Tulsa.
The sleet started about noon on Christmas Eve and fell for about two hours before it switched to snow. Louise and I took the grandkids to their aunt's house during the sleet and the road conditions deteriorated while we were delivering them! We had wind gusts to about 40mph and, later in the afternoon, almost had "whiteout" conditions. By the time the snow quit, we had about 6" on the ground here.
I used to think having a "White Christmas" was neat. Now I think its a Pain in the A**. Oh well, everyone did survive the Blizzard of '09!
