God bless Oklahoma. It has been my home since 1978. I love it here.
I know it seems that way at times, but the fact is, we have a 4 to 6 weeks per year that is too hot, and a 4to 6 that is too cold, but the other 40 weeks are not bad!
Oklahoma does have the worlds tallest hill! Poteau Mountain! The definition on a mountain is, taller than 2,000 feet, Poteau Mountain is 1,999 feet!
4-6 weeks? It is too hot way more than 4-6 weeks. Heck it is almost October and it’s gonna be back into the dang 90’s. I hate our heat. I wish it never got above 75 here. I don’t care how cold it gets though. We can always make ourselves warm but when it’s hot there ain’t nothing we can do.
Cold hurts, hot just makes you sweat.
They are notable though as the oldest mountains from the Appalachians to the Rocky's. Used to be a lot higher.
Some of the oldest mountains in the United States, the western Arbuckle Mountains has a core comprised of Precambrian granite and gneiss that is 1.3 billion years old. These Precambrian rocks are overlain by Cambrian rhyolite that is 525 million years old. During the Late Cambrian through the Pennsylvanian, 515 to 290 million years ago, respectively, seas encroached and then retreated, leaving deposits of limestone, dolomite, sandstone, and shale covering the mountains. Lengthy weathering and erosion periods have significantly reduced the Arbuckles from their original heights.

That's why my temp home has wheels and moves to those climates that are like those other 40 weeks.
If we didn't have any weather that is too hot, or cold, we likely wouldn't enjoy the nice weather as much?That's why my temp home has wheels and moves to those climates that are like those other 40 weeks.
I prefer my personal attire to be shorts and tshirt year around.
