Snow, Snow Go Away... and Don't Come Back

When the winter storm warning came through for the Northeast Oklahoma area, we decided we'd just go ahead and hit the road. Figuring south and west would be a good idea, we packed up Heili, the cats and headed out.
WRONG! We no sooner hit OKC than the temperature started dropping rapidly. Optimistically, we kept going on towards Clinton, OK. At a truck stop there we learned we were heading right into the heart of a wonderful winter storm with a blizzard warning. BLIZZARD!!!! This is southern Oklahoma! Okay, I'd like to know who was praying for a white Christmas around here. I would gladly kick their little butts and more than likely be joined by several hundred truckers who were trying to get home.
We noticed our LP tank was getting low and thought it just might be a good idea to find someplace to top it off. Just in case we wanted to stay warm throughout the night, you know. Off to the closest Flying J which is just past Elk City, OK. For some reason the kid dispensing the LP heard 20 gallons, not 20 dollars. Merry Christmas to us! The manager said she wasn't about to charge us for LP we hadn't ordered. Not sure who had to eat the extra charge, but the fuel was appreciated since the night brought that blizzard and freezing rain they were predicting.
I believe this trip is going to fall under the heading of "Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men". Anyway, the afternoon has brought some sunshine, decreased winds and the truckers on the CB are saying it's looking pretty good on towards Amarillo, TX. With any luck we'll get to Cline's Corner, NM or someplace else with more warmth.
I'll be sure to keep all updated on the travels and travails of our "Run for the Sun".
