Insane Oklahoma weather

Saturday (1/29/11) we broke the recoed 74 degrees set in 1947 with a temp of 76. Gorgeous day with no wind. Tuesday (2/1/11) just 72 hours later, with 14" of snow on the ground, we broke the record low for that day in history. The old record was -4 set in 1931. We had minus 6.
So simple math tells you we had an 82 degree temp swing in just 72 hours. It has been well below freezing since then and we got another 2" today. More forecast for Sunday and Tuesday.
So in a matter of three days, we broke the record high, the record low, and the record snowfall. Previous record snowfall in a 24 hour period was 12.5". The Mail service is down. UPS hasn't run in days and Fed-Ex is barely moving. I have an LCD TV that was scheduled for last Tuesday delivery. Running UPS tracking says status unavailable.
This may not sound like much to my Canadian friends, but it is unprecedented for here.
Current temp is 24.

The only day that I've had trouble so far this winter was a day when an Ice storm hit.I had to take my Uncle to the Veterans Administration for an Apointment.As soon as I hit the Highway I slid all the way to Butler and Back home.Of course my Tires was almost slick.I called him and told him to cancel that I couldn't make it to the Big City without tearing something up.
