It’s sunny and just got above freezing in north Yukon. I suspect it will melt some, then refreeze tonight, making the roads an ice rink. I do not recommend that anyone be on the streets tonight, for this, or anything else, unless it’s an emergency.

As some of you may have heard me say before, I’ve lived in Alaska, Idaho and Colorado, I can drive on snow and ice. But most Oklahomans do not have that experience and I stay off the streets in weather like this, as I do not want somebody crashing into my brand new car!

Excellent call to make this one virtual, Ron!
