My colleague, Rick Mitchell, chief meteorologist at KOCO-TV in Oklahoma City, indicates on his latest weather blog post that it looks that the bitter cold is done in Oklahoma for 2007.

All I can say to that is: FREAKIN' HALLELUJAH to the God in Heaven.

The winter of 2007 has merely reinforced in me my hatred of cold. I can deal with bitter heat. Definitely. Cold saps my life blood, and I hate it, and I don't know how you Yankees can take it.

It's on to severe weather season in tornado alley, and I've never been so ready for it.
