In far NW OKC the wind is swirling which is weird and snow is coming down steadily.

Current radar image with the mPING reports coming in.

It's coming down at a steady pace & intensifying every now & again here in N OKC. It is more sleet than snow at this point, but the flakes of snow are fairly large.

Been showing on the west side of Lake Hefner for about 30 minutes now.

I find it silly to get angry about the weather. It's going to do what it wants regardless of what the models predict. It isn't an exact science; there are too many variables for it to be. Freaking out about it and running to the store to buy a bunch of milk and eggs (why?) or screaming in rage at the local weathermen (again, why? And why even bother watching them if you hate them so much?) does nothing but waste your energy and frustrate you. Put your energy in to preparing your home as you need to, and go about your business.

I think I've said this before, and I'll say it again: The Dallas ABC affiliate meteorologist back in the early 90s said it best (paraphrased), If you try to predict winter weather in this part of the world anything more than 2 hours out, you're going to make yourself look like an idiot.

Thankful for the rain, we needed it.

50/50 snow/rain here in N OKC. Just got back from work. Streets are wet, over 9000 snowplows sitting on sides of interstate ready to destroy all hopes of a day off work.

Heavy sleet once again.

Just changed to big wet snow in midtown

Very well put. Lets ready our soldiers & anti-snowplow guns & put a stop to their madness.

Still only light rain and drizzle in Norman. Temp has come down a couple of degrees though. Now at 36.

I don't care how much you know about any industry. Keep your cool or go vent somewhere else. Calling people names and cursing isn't acceptable behavior on OKCTalk. Your posts have been reported for removal.

But ok...moving on. Sheesh when did everyone get so sensitive.

That dry slot over the city looks like it has just about gone. I'm glad this has held off, personally. It is fun to have a big storm and I hope we still get some excitement, but jamming up people trying to get home is not something to hope for. I'm with everyone else - thrilled to have the moisture, so far. We've gotten about an inch. Keep it coming!

And we have real, live SNOW here in SW Oklahoma City!About 5 miles south of WRWA.

6:02, Live in far SW OKC. Haven't seen a single flake. This snowmaggedon that the weather people throw at us from time to time is criminal. People filling tanks full with gas, buying everything in sight at grocery stores, buying shovels, salt, etc. Basically scaring the crap out of people, especially the elderly. Every damn time the fear mongers do this. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. OKC, you've been hosed again. Heard a national news guy say recently, that local weather people do this, otherwise they have no job and are useless.

Never hurts to have a full tank of gas and what grownup doesn't have a shovel????

Personally, I don't know any elderly person worried about this. They grew up using outhouses and nothing scares anyone after that.

I honestly don't know whether or not to set my alarm for tomorrow and run outside and scream at God or crack open a few coldees and plan on sleeping in.

In other news, i dont really like snow, but since they said this was going to be "the big one" i am ready. BTW its snowing over here near Lake Hefner, but i guess ya'all already know that :)

Like my boy Venture said, it's better to wait till this thing is over with before we start calling out the weather folks, although the short amount of patience with them is understandable considering their history of getting worked up & sending everyone into an apocalyptic sort of frenzy.

Where were you driving, Illinois? Lol! I think all of Oklahoma owns 30 snowplows total. Seems like it, anyway. After my first winter here I realized why everyone just stays home during inclement weather.

Thats where i'm at. I just checked my work email and there was a liberal leave issued for the tomorrow, but i almost wonder if it will be cancelled if we dont get any meaningful snow. As we all know, nothing more cruel that having your heart set on a snow day and then ending an evening not knowing if your going to have work in the morning.

With that said - Snow is now falling in Choctaw / Harrah area!

Radar is just showing rain?

Nothing in North Central Norman. 616pm

I honestly don't know whether or not to set my alarm for tomorrow and run outside and scream at God or crack open a few coldees and plan on sleeping in.

Get drunk, run outside & scream at God tonight (with an appropriate amount of clothing on), set your alarm for tomorrow, throw it against the wall when it goes off in the morning & sleep in.

The weather people just present data and a list of probabilities. Everyone else turn it into snowmaggedon.

Perfect answer.

I just got to use the PING App to tell the OU people that there is a rain / snow mix in west Midwest City. I guess there will be a little snowflake blinking over my house.

I beg to differ. Numerous of the local yokal weather people, including Mike Morgasm, called this a "life threatening" storm. These people are a freaking joke.

You do understand that the OKC stations broadcast far out into Western OK, right?

Or are you just content to complain that your little bubble is not experiencing what was predicted?

A part of me feels like I'm watching the weather version of Maury.

A lot of use were calling Morgan dumb for predicting 1-3 inches here in the city and it looks like he may be right.

Correction: He is still wrong because this is looking more like a trace for the metro. lol

Deformation zone in SW OK deteriorating. This is most definitely a bust for OKC; barring some amazing stall-out and we go out Lubbock, TX style.


Bummer with such a perfect track! Enid OK is going to be a winner, it has been snowing heavy there for the entire day.

But will we still get the rain?

Still nothing much happening in my neighborhood in east Norman. Just rain every now and then. I cancelled all my evening plans for nothing. :\ At least we got some moisture out of it, I guess.

*throws chair* Oh no he dih unt say school is open tomorrow!

What chu mean school is open tomorrow??!! *puts hand in weathermans face* I got chu homeboy, you can have yo no snow school day, I never wanted chu or luved chu anyway foo!

Mississippi Blues, you ARE the blizzard!!!! (Cue crying fit, dramatic run backstage, and finally collapse on floor)

Hey, yo, I was just playing therondo. I ain't the blizzard. I can't explain it on national talk forum, but you gotta trus me on dis.

SW OK main snow band that was sitting from Chickasha to Duncan is weakening pretty fast now. Still a decent amount of snow up in NW OK, but mostly light to moderate snow. Central sections still has a good amount of moisture being flung back over up, with the heaviest over Cleveland County right now.

To me right now it seems wrap around is really getting choked by more dry air being pulled in and the storm system moving a bit faster to the ENE. Could still see some spurts of heavy snow here and then, but I wouldn't be shocked if one area of the Metro area has 6 inches and another has absolutely nothing. Pretty much what has been advertised for the last few days with the very tight gradient.

This can always change, but for a storm was that taking its sweet time to move all day finally decided to pick up speed once the cold air was able to spread in.

Whatever. You do know what whatever means I hope. You're dismissed.

If you thought that was an outrageous--or even outrage us or even egregious--comment . . . you should have seen the insane bs that the local weather channels were spewing . . . i mean broadcasting in the name of the fear altering drugs that sponsor them. It was a hoot. A short hoot, yet a hoot nonetheless . . . now back to Wheel of Fortune . . .=)

Whatever. You do know what whatever means I hope. You're dismissed.

Literally, life-threatening.

WOODWARD, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma emergency manager: 1 person killed when snow collapses roof of house at Woodward.

I am pissed! Who can I take this out on? lol. . . Seriously though, it is disappointing, but weather isn't supposed to predictable. Esp. storms like this. At the very least, there are some really happy snow lovers in Woodward and the precip. we had put a huge dent in the drought. I'm pretty sure these "hacks" as they have been called, aren't very happy about this either. I could tell that Michael Armstrong was getting excited over this storm by his FB status updates and I don't think he was sitting behind his computer going bwahahahahaha I'm going to tell these people we're having a blizzard when they knew nothing was going to happen. We'll get a blizzard eventually. The 2009 blizzard was not normal for this area and I don't think we had blizzard like that here since the 90's. Correct me if I wrong on that, though. :) . .

BTW The night's still young (right Venture?) ;) lol

Gary is still going with we'll get some snow. I'm so torn about this, I feel emotionally confused. :( quit playing with my heart you weather jerks!

I'm still hoping for school to be cancelled

Transitioned to light rain / sleet from light rain / snow in west Midwest City a few minutes ago. I am thankful for the water.

I'm still hoping for school to be cancelled

That's why I'm so freakin torn! I don't wanna go to school, but if I do have to go then whatevs.

But the precip is good.

I'm still hoping for school to be cancelled

Why would you care about school if you are posting in here? =)
(tom sawyer, huck finn, the zen guy, stymie n' kroo o' the wrascles.)

fyi: "school" is never cancelled. the "weather" is what it is. get over it. and learn.

That's why I'm so freakin torn! I don't wanna go to school, but if I do have to go then whatevs.

Gary is still calling for snow and he is usually right.

Its over. Dry air won.

Hey don't be such a debbie downer :(

It's done. As soon as that deformation zone in SW OK collapsed that was it. It was holding on strong all day and started to show hope it would hold on. However, as these storms love to do once the low starts moving the western edge (especially down here) loves to fall apart very fast. Instead of a gradual west to East movement.

I wouldn't be shocked if this band firming up from Chandler to Pink to Slaughterville becomes the new dominant precip band for the next couple of hours or so. Essentially hopping right over the central sections of the Metro area.

Mike Morgan used the old "like I said all day 1-3 in the metro"...Saying will just be some slush around in the morning as its just too warm

I have to give some props to the NWS for getting their first winter event this year, correct. [for the most part]

They, too adjusted their forecast for what looked like heavier snow over the I-44 corridor. But the original advisories they put in place were spot on (minus the WSWarning for the metro).


NWS 1 - OKCTalk 2

Well Tinker let us go at 1400 today and we had the option of liberal leave anyway, but i haven't heard what the plan is for tomorrow. Snow in my area seems to have stopped for now..

I will be more than happy to go to work tomorrow, run rehearsals, and know that at the end of the school year, I don't have to tack on days to make up for the snow.

With contest next week, and a concert planned as a warm-up for tomorrow night, I'm quite happy that this turned out this way.

I do love a good snow, but I prefer it on a weekend, and I like it to melt quickly ;)

:woowoo:

Our hopes and dreams for heavy work busting snows have been dashed. Oh well,when's the next storm slated for. I watched this thing all day and thought it was just a matter of time before all of us in the city would be hunkered down. But NO! What a bummer.

Will you guys seriously drop it. News 9 has been on this since 4am with doom and gloom for the metro and 13 hours later we havent had any snow at all in OKC.

We arent getting any snow in the metro.

Stop being wasting your time and move on.

The old self quote...

The next exciting storm systems will probably be spring time storms in April. I think winter is just about done. lol
