Cataclysmic Oklahoma Ice Storm of '10
We're supposed to get 3 to 5 inches tomorrow.
Don't laugh! Have you seen okies drive in the snow? It's not pretty.

The more I live here, the less I like it...and mostly I'm not talking about the weather.
Anyhow, we're just getting rain in Lawton/Cache. |

After letting me drive 25 minutes to work and waiting for the precip to change over to sleet, our blessed governor decided to send all state employees home. Brilliant!

Sleet and ice are the worst part about any storm in the southwest. Remember a storm way back in the 80's that froze my grandfathers pond 6 inches thick, no snow, just sleet! Or the storm in late 90's that knocked power out in southern OK for two weeks because they hadn't kept the trees trimmed back off the power lines. Stupid OG&E. KG&E had to come down after two weeks to help them out.
At least you don't have to drive on it after it sticks, duckman. Hopefully. Tell |

On a side note, I'll take the foot+ of snow where I currently am over an inch of ice any day of the week. Thanks all the same.

Ugh. I'm driving up to DFW in about an hour and a half. I should be getting there just as it starts getting interesting.

Wow, we've had actual blizzard conditions for several hours now! I have about 6 inches of snow in my yard with drifts as high as 2 feet.

We had blizzard conditions for most of the day. We lost electricity about 10:30 Central and just got it back (about 7:00 PM Central).
I ate an MRE. Anyhow, since it was dark we got the Christmas presents out and put them under the tree. The power came back on and the kids didn't realize that it came back. We then scrambled to get the presents back in our room before we let them know. |

We have a blizzard warning in KC metro area for the first time ever. Expecting a foot of snow with 40-50 MPH winds. Guess we'll stay inside for Christmas.

The drive up was interesting. Heavy snow and winds started about an hour into the drive, and lasted about 40 miles. Then it let up for a bit, and came back with a vengance about 60 miles south of Fort Worth. A pickup towing a pop-up camper jackknifed and blocked both lanes of I-35W. Then when I got to Fort Worth, the big overpasses were either closed by the police, or closed because someone spun out and wrecked at the top. After a stop by my parents' house, I continued on to my aunts' place, and that took me another 45 minutes to go 15 miles. Lots of black ice formed after nightfall.

Hope everyone is staying safe. Just heard from someone in Lawrence and, yeah, it's pretty much a blizzard there right now. Not quite as much snow as expected but really strong winds

I'm stuck at home for Christmas because all the state highways are closed. We had to move our Christmas dinner back in hopes it will be safe enough to travel tomorrow or Sunday.

Well crap, we were supposed to head down to Tulsa this afternoon(One I actually wanted to go to, doesn't happen often.) It's not too bad up here I'm just a little South of Wichita, the wind has died down and it stopped snowing pretty early this morning.
Doesn't sound good down there though. |

My mother is snowed in in Norman. Was supposed to work today 20 minutes south of there but the highways were closed, she said. 14 inches in OK is almost on disaster level. I'm not even sure they have enough plows in the state to take care of this in any kind of timely manner. Same for north Texas really.

Nuts here. Still snowing with heavy winds. Hard to tell how much snow we had. 14-16 inches in some parts of the yard with other parts only having 2-4 inches. Blowing all over the place.

pooring rain here... I noticed a dripping sound, my gutters are frozen, so the water was getting under the ice, and into the roof? or something, spent some time on a ladder, in 35 degree rain, chipping ice with a channel lock! wooo

I've never seen a storm with so much dispute over snowfall totals. The drifting makes it almost impossible to get a good measurement. Apparently same thing in OKC -- reading some of the weather-nerd comments online, looks like a lot of people are disputing the 14" inches in OKC. Regardless, any storm putting out 8-10 inches in Missouri, Oklahoma and eastern Kansas is out of the norm. Oh, and it's still snowing. Last edited by kcchief19 : 12-25-2009 at 10:04 PM. |

Yeah, it's supposed to snow off and on today. I'm quite pleased with my home builder right now. Evidently, he built it just right so a north wind would blow off most of my driveway. |

We're getting hammer right now. Some places already have an inch of ice. My area not too bad right now, but the heavier rain is moving in and could put us in the same position as some others in the area.

White out conditions in Buffalo tonight...I went to get a glass of milk tonight and realized we were out...I had to get to the store for milk for the kids and their breakfast.
If it keeps up, there will be a Snow Day.

We're supposed to get hit by...something...tomorrow night into Saturday. Raleigh, as always, is sitting somewhere on the boundary between one form of precip and another. It's a little different this time in that it should be frozen no matter what, but what sort of frozen precip it is depends on time of day. Moreover, the local stations are all over the place on the forecast accumulations, ranging anywhere from 1-2" up to near a foot (though that prediction has since backslid to about half a foot). Since the predicted mixture of precip oscillates between nearly all snow and mostly snow, it's pretty hard to determine what about an inch of forecasted liquid precip will actually amount to in snow and ice. If it were all snow and the standard 10:1 ratio is used, then that's nearly 10 inches, but obviously, any amount of icing will trim the snow total back.

Some models are saying we could get 20-24" in Arkansas. Unreal. I am so pumped.
