Just another reminder from last year of what we have to look forward to in this coming ice storm season.

Daily photos from Oklahoma City and the surrounding metro area
Oklahoma is called the Sooner State, because when the state was opened up land was given away not by lottery but by land run, in a "shotgun start" style. At a certain time, all the settlers lined up at the starting line took off at a dead run and ran as fast as their buggies, coaches, buckboards, horses and legs could take them until they could find land that no one had claimed, 160 acres at a time. Unfortunately, not everyone waited for the starting shot and took off Sooner than they were supposed to: hence, the Sooner State. This bronze statue, actually a series of statues depicting the land run, is found along the canal in Bricktown, in downtown Oklahoma City (OKC) and when finished will be the largest bronze statuary in the world.

Makes for a great picture, but I sure hope we miss it down our way this year.
Nice. I am hoping to take a few ice shots this year. I can't wait to see what others you might come up with for this year!
Oh my I wish I was there, the temperature here is over 40degC and even the pool is lukewarm...
Great pic...
