More for the extreme cold, than snow or ice on the road right?

Probably a bit of both. 1 inch of snow but with temps so cold side streets won't be any better until about Thursday. The Sun will do some damage but maybe not much.

[SoonerDave]

So OKC is dry this morning and the radar show almost a "circle" of precip *around* the metro. Is this going to fill in or are we being dry-slotted?

[Anonymous.]

Freezing drizzle in OKC will continue to pick up. Then a brief shot of snow later this afternoon and the system moves out.

[Bunty]

Streets in Stillwater very slick from just a light coating of freezing drizzle and light snow as of 9:30 am. It will be interesting to see if conditions change to moderate to heavy snow later this afternoon. NWS says 2 to 4 inches possible this afternoon for Stillwater with an additional inch possible tonight.

Classes have been canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday at OSU-Stillwater and OSU-Tulsa campuses.

[Pete]

Is this largely going to miss the OKC area (I hope)?

[FighttheGoodFight]

Slick spots in Norman. Nothing you cant handle going slow but it's icy.

Don't travel if you have too. Roads are bad and dangerous. Now back to one of our 50 storm chasers out there. SMH

OGE - power outage in midtown okc

[BoulderSooner]

still snowing in north edmond ..

[kukblue1]

KFOR has an inch. Payne said 1/2 to 1 inch in the metro. My back yard by the outlet mall .3 I feel left out or is the media really trying to spin it again. Anyone have an inch at 4pm? Even their trackers I don't see an inch anywhere.

Ha! I always get a chuckle out of almost each time it snows the local media messaging generally uses the same words: "slick and hazardous, bridges and overpasses, roads are deteriorating , cut to the story about Ace Hardware running out of salt and snow shovels. Now lets go to a tracker who is driving around in all the mess. "

I'm in NOKC and were I am probably got 1/2-1 inch of snow for what it's worth. Next week is looking very nice to me! February can be so cold around here.

[kukblue1]

East side metro picking up now at 4:30 East metro going to end up with more than west metro.

[kukblue1]

So what did everyone end up with. .5 at the airport at 5 pm was reported. My house west metro by oultlet mall about that 1/2 inch. I guess the village get 1 to 1 1/2?

[BB37]

Far NW OKC, we got maybe an inch.

[NikonNurse]

Far West close to two but we also got some ice/drizzle first…my neighborhood streets are smooth as glass…ugh.

[kukblue1]

An inch was the average for the metro. Looking at storm reports observers reports anywhere from 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Far cry from the 2-4 that some of the tv stations were showing with their snowfall maps on Friday. One station came much closer than others. They will never learn will they. They say it's not click bait but we all know it is. https://x.com/iembot_oun/status/1892...564639/photo/1 Wasn't Ponca City In the 6-10 range? SMH

Some lake effect snow happening around S shore of Lake Hefner.

[FighttheGoodFight]

Schools closed again tomorrow. Fellow parents I wish you mental fortitude

[Anonymous.]

One more night/day of record cold, then we should crack freezing late Friday afternoon.
