Winter Weather Event

December 9 - 10, 2007

 

On Saturday December 8, an Arctic airmass moved into Oklahoma from Kansas.  As the cold air settled in across Oklahoma, temperatures dropped below freezing.  A storm system moved across Kansas/Nebraska early Sunday morning and produced widespread freezing rain in Oklahoma, especially along the I-44 Corridor.  This area received at least 1.5 inches of ice accumulations with some areas up to 3 inches from Oklahoma City to Tulsa.  Many adjacent areas received 1/2 inches of ice with 1/4 inches farther south and north from the highest impact areas.  At one point over 600,000 customers were without power.
