A winter storm affected most of western and central Oklahoma during the evening of the 1st and the early morning of the 2nd. The precipitation started as a mixture of freezing rain and snow across northern Oklahoma, and eventually transitioned to all snow, where between two and four inches of snow were reported, along with a small amount of ice. The highest snowfall total was 4.5 inches in Enid (Garfileld County). Farther south, toward Interstate 40, and eventually to near the Red River, freezing rain accumulated to about one tenth of an inch in many places before transitioning to snow, with accumulations generally an inch or less, except for locally higher totals. The quick onset of the freezing rain, along with north winds of 30 to 40 mph and temperatures falling rapidly into the 20s, made for extremely hazardous traveling conditions, despite the lack of large ice or snow accumulations. Two weather/vehicle-related fatalities are known to have occurred, one on Interstate 35, near Goldsby in McClain County, and the other on Highway 283, about four miles north of Altus in Jackson County. Dozens of other weather-related accidents, some involving injuries, were also reported.
