| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Heavy snow fell over much of Oklahoma overnight from late Thursday February 6th through the morning of February 7th. Temperatures hovered at or just above freezing, however, and limited the amount of snow accumulation on the ground. Only over the northwestern quarter of Oklahoma was the temperature cold enough, long enough for significant snow accumulation to occur. Areas generally north of I-40 and west of I-35 saw accumulations at and above 2 inches, with local bands of heavy snow across Beckham and Washita Counties and from Ellis into Woodward Counties. In the northern band from Arnett to Woodward, the heaviest snow fell in Woodward where 6 to 8 inches of snow fell. In the southern band from Sayre to Clinton, the heaviest snow fell in Clinton where 4 inches was reported.Numerous traffic accidents occurred and were blamed, at least in part, on icy road conditions. One three-car accident with injuries was reported in Woodward in Woodward County, and a one-car accident with injury occurred in Elk City in Beckham County. |
