A very strong cold front moved through Oklahoma, beginning late in the afternoon over northwest Oklahoma, and continuing southeast through the late evening hours. Temperatures ahead of the front were in the 40s, but quickly fell well below freezing within a couple of hours of the frontal passage. After sunset, a brief period of light freezing rain developed behind the front. The freezing rain changed to very light snow after one or two hours, but enough glaze accumulated on roadways and power lines to cause minor problems. Several accidents were reported, mainly over western and northwest Oklahoma. Gusty northwest winds combined with the ice on the power lines also caused brief, but widespread power outages over central Oklahoma. Well over 30,000 people were without power at its peak, but service was returned quickly for most residents and business'. The freezing rain moved southeast through the evening, with very few problems reported. Very dry air filtered in behind the front, quickly ending the precipitation and drying out the roadways.
