Three Season State
-
7/29/2012
Edmond, OK has four seasons. Staring w/Fall it has all the good memories that it brings: Long Indian Summer, hues of oranges, browns, and yellows, leaves falling, lots of leaves on the ground, porches, and drive-ways both for fun, play, and everybody raking leaves, nippy cool and cold weather to be cozy and light the fireplace to smell wood-burning to watch all the football teams flags in yards, on people, in stores, and on t.v. More? O.K. Halloween memories of the past, because Edmond citizens are big on decorating their yards and doors for both Halloween and Fall w/pumkins, pumpkins, pumpkins, and even spiders!
Winter too, has all the memories that it brings in three seasons state: "snow". Except from 2008 to now Edmond has had a lot of snow and even snow storms w/many power outages. It is recommended that if you have a natural wood fireplace to stock pile lots of wood in the spring and early summer when trees are being cut and pruned. The wood is also more inexpensive then. Don't forget lots of candles, water, non-perishable food to eat.
Buy a "land line phone" because cell phones cannot be charged when there is a power outage. Winterized your pipes and cover them in freezing temperatures.
Besides this...if you love snow, you'll love the winter in Edmond. Just wear your most heavy coat, a good covering for your head, a thick cozy scarf, and boots for the snow and enjoy all the fun, Christmas decorations, hot apple cider, the smell cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and cloves in stores and homes you visit...more football games in restaurants, Christmas concerts and plays at schools, colleges, theatre groups and symphonies; and Have a Very Merry Christmas commerating the Lord's birth bringing good tidings to all men, and Have a Blessed Properous New Year!
In Spring, you can expect rain, somestimes alot and sometimes not which is not good because Oklahoma need a lot of raining day because it's very hot summers with temperatures over 100.
For many, Spring is a welcome season because the temparture begins to warm. Schools and colleges typically end in the first or second week in May.
In caring for your laws, be aware of grub worms, mole crickets, and moles that appear in the very eary spring. Instead of using a costly lawin service company, buy products that will rid your lawn/ground of the grub worms/crickets, some grass seeds with weed removal and just water it. I have found that products that emphasize "fertilizer" tend to burn your grass. Research through google and bing search for more or other information about lawn care in spring.
It will be alergy season. Use the Weather Channel and local news and weather stations for information and updates on the amount of pollen is in the air for Edmond daily or weekly, especially if you suffer from allergies and have asthma.
For Summer, responsibly use safe insect repellant, keep hydrated, watch out for the safety of children who will be out and about having fun, and ENJOY SUMMER and the 4th of July!
