| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Snow began to fall across most of Oklahoma Tuesday night (January 8) and fell through Wednesday evening. Around 4 inches of snow blanketed western Oklahoma with about 2 inches across central and southeastern portions of the state. An isolated area of heavy snow fell across Beckham County, where 7 and 8 inches were reported in Elk City and Sayre, respectively. A second band of heavy snow extended across the southeastern half of Oklahoma County from Tinker AFB to Luther, with a bullseye of 9.5 inches of snow reported in Choctaw. Interstate 40 through Oklahoma City was closed for a time due to heavy snow, treacherous driving conditions, and reduced visibilities. One fatality and numerous injury accidents were attributed to the heavy snow and poor driving conditions. The fatality occurred in Stephens County when a 25-year-old woman lost control of her car on an icy patch of road. |
