Our first snow of the year has come and gone, and we appear to have emerged from the other side relatively unscathed.
Given Oklahoma’s winter weather record the past few years, I’d say this is cause for celebration, but we’re not out of this dreary season just yet. The weather prognosticators are anticipating another storm in a week or so, among other frightening trends on the radar.
Reflecting upon last week’s storm now, it’s amazing that something so common in other regions of the country — the precipitation and the travel conditions both — is routinely viewed in Oklahoma as a massive challenge. Simply the threat of winter weather disrupts nearly every event and business in the state in some way. Call it the unfortunate circumstance of having a car-centric society in a place that’s not quite cold enough for simple snow, yet also not quite warm enough to avoid winter storms altogether.
This comic isn’t meant to condense a full-blown rant about Oklahomans and their winter driving into one image, by the way, but rather it’s intended to remind everyone to put a little more thought into their commute when winter driving conditions are less than ideal. If we are going to be stuck with this nuisance every year, we may as well help each other deal with it the best we can. We can still complain about it all the same.
