Have you really turned yours on already?

We live in the southeastern part of the state. We've been fortunate so far. I heard that the Hills area had frost the other morning, but so far so good here. 
I've been following Tulsa's weather for 3 or 4 years now and their winters are VERY nice compared to ours. They did have a nasty ice storm a year or two ago, but it appears to be much nicer. Their snow/ice seems to melt in a day or two and they don't have to wait until April for the melt like we do.
Have you been down there yet? Do you know when you'll be moving?

I found a really nice house on the edge of Red Rock state park for only $250/month in Hinton when I was there. I didn't care for Binger, it was more because I worked in Hinton, than not liking the town of Binger itself. Good luck on your move.
My prediction for winter is the same people with pea-brains will try and drive after an ice storm, thinking if they go slow it will be alright. Then you will see cars in ditches, etc. Heck we had people stuck in the parking lots of the bank, because the parking lot was at an incline and they could not get out.

It's going to be cold. The white man is putting up a lot of firewood.

Just take a chainsaw and cut slots in your tires for better traction,  |

My prediction for "Winter"? It will be as enticingly close to a real "Winter" you can have without being one. Like usual 
It's sad but having lived in the South all my life my hobbies and interests seem to revolve around warm weather now, even though I enjoy cold. Such as golfing for one, can't do that in the North all Winter. |

So far every persimmon my family and i have opened have all been spoons. The squirrels are storing their food, tons of cobwebs everywhere, and my horses are already furry. But who knows for sure.  |
