Well I guess this is us now! That about covers the first half of December. This stupid (not to be confused with dumb, but if you’re confused you could probably go with dumb, and if you’re still confused then you can join me in joyously accepting all three adjectives) weather pattern we are in gives us momentary glimpses of winter, which climatologically begins tomorrow (meteorologically too, but climate always rules over weather! {spits on ground}) and runs through February. Although in reality it probably starts somewhere around Jan. 4 and runs through Jan. 9? So we will continue to see temperatures run 15-20 degrees above normal at times, like Thursday and Friday.

We have nothing but sunny days and clear nights in the forecast for the week ahead except for a chance of showers Friday night. High temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-70s for mid- and late-week, not bad for the week after Thanksgiving. Colder air will arrive this weekend with highs in the 60s on Saturday and drop into the upper-30s by Sunday night.

November is recognized as National Adoption Month. During this time, Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) and partner agencies celebrate children leaving foster care to find permanency in their forever homes as well as the families and staff who make that permanency possible.
