Today Tulsa is expected to hit 60 degrees. Last week we had over 14 inches of snow on the ground. Is it possible to have a snowball fight while wearing shorts? In Oklahoma it is. Two weeks ago Tulsa received the most snow it's ever received in a 24-hour period: 14+ inches. Two days later we hit with a 20% chance of snow flurries becoming 4 inches. Last Tuesday the winter weather came again, giving us another 6 inches of snow. So within a ten-day period, we received two feet of snow. Now, for some folks who live up North, 2 feet may seem like nothing, but to us here in Tulsa, this is something that had never happened before. Schools and businesses were shut for days (in fact, the Tulsa Public Schools didn't have school for almost 2 weeks!).
Among all this snow, we also had our Homecoming events on campus. Nearly 100 business alumni braved the snow and Arctic temperatures to meet up once again for our Power Luncheon. Quite a number of ORU alumni gathered for the Homecoming Banquet and then cheered as our basketball team on to a great win.
With the higher temperatures coming Tulsa's way and melting what has been on the ground the last two weeks , these pictures now seem but a memory, but I hope you still enjoy them!
