Snow Hammers the Southern Plains
Did central Oklahoma get snowed in? Did we get the 4-6 inches of snow predicted? As of now (12:40pm local time), I see only puddles of liquid water in my apartment parking lot, and a dusting of snow in the grass. Light snow is still blowing around as the winds are strong, but no good accumulation to speak of. More snow could come tonight, but how can it stick when the ground is so warm? That’s the problem with forecasting snow this time of year; you may think there will be 4-6 inches of snowfall, but in terms of accumulation, next to nothing on the roads! Nevertheless, I didn’t go to the wedding in Tulsa today; snow and ice is worse up there, and decided last night to not risk it.
