UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Yelling) Ah, ah.
SARAH MCCAMMON, HOST:
And finally, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, extreme cold temperatures couldn't stop some intrepid sledders from getting outdoors.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: I wiped out.
MCCAMMON: High schoolers Luke Szafranksi, Jack Stowe and Clay Jordan were enjoying a favorite sledding spot and hoping for a day off school.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: I've been coming here since I was really young.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #3: It's pretty good. It's more like icy snow than, like, really deep, so it's good for sledding. It's not slushy or sloppy yet.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: Yeah.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: I'm bringing my skis out. So see how that goes.
JEREMY COMMONS: I mean, that's not bad at all, for sure. Yep, pretty nice out - nice and powdery.
MCCAMMON: Further along, Jeremy Commons would not be deterred by a lack of supplies at Lowe's. He found something and made do.
COMMONS: Oh, it's a concrete mixing bucket. That's it. They were sold out of sleds. And it looked like it worked, so I gave it a shot. And yeah, it's doing all right.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: (Yelling) Ah.
MCCAMMON: Sounds of delight from people enjoying the snow.
(LAUGHTER)
MCCAMMON: Those voices were gathered for us by Frank Morris of member station KCUR.
