Nothing like freezing rain to throw a wrench in the gears. I'm
familiar with the normal chaos of O'Hare -- I simply can't imagine
what it's like with 400 cancelled flights. You couldn't pay me enough
to wade into that mess tonight.

We've had 22 degree freezing fog, mist and drizzle all day. NOTHING
is flying here.

Same weather in Tulsa, just 5 to 10 warmer. Heavy tree losses.

First time back on line since Sunday night. I live four miles from the
center of downtown Tulsa, and was without power for 74 hours. I haven't seen
Tulsa paralyzed like this since a March blizzard in the mid-60s, some 40
years ago. Power company has imported some 7000 workers with related
vehicles from other power companies all over the south. I haven't seen what
has been hitting the news, since all I have had has been local radio, but I
hope to have some pics available in a week or so. Will be busy with local
neighbors trying to help reopen all the screens for the next week or so.
