Just got home from running to 7-11. The new snow is over the neighborhood curbs. No blowing or drifting. Can get around in it if you do not do stupid things. City streets are becoming snow packed in Okc.

Very little wind with this storm. Snow is falling straight down in Okc 

Snow starting on the South Side of Okc 

Morgan is thinking the storm is moving faster than what the models were indicating.

Emilly Sutton at Noon had Southern Oklahoma getting 6 to 10 tomorrow 

Okc had a Ice Nado. KWTV helicopter pilot was flying over one of the city lakes and got a spin up coming off the lake. There is a video of it on FB if you goto Jed Castle's FB page.

Something to think about is how many people are going to have high end car repairs. Not many people now adays check antifreeze in their cars esp.  in this region.

Man its gonna be a cold cold night, Temp is just rapidly falling off. Both my weather stations already say -2 on them!!! I havent seen cold like this in a very very long time, crazy to think we may be in the  upper 40's/50's by weeks end lol

The long range GFS shows upper 60's lower 70's the first week of March.

Okc metro is between 0 and -4 according to the Oklahoma Mesonet right now.

Parts of Okc are loosing power as well.

Sunny as can be in Okc 

I have a half Huskey/German Shepard and he goes out and do zoomies in this type of stuff. 

Finally getting some sense of water here. Not up to full pressure but it is coming out.

Update on the water issue in Okc seems as some of the pipes at the water plant froze 

Turner Turnpike closed do to a semi accident/fire  and crews not being able getting to it due to the weather.  I 35 Northbound near Blackwell, Oklahoma shut down for the same reason.

The entire south side of Okc is without water. The water plant that serves this area went down the the City can not give a time when it would be back up.

Elk City Ok getting pretty heavy snow

Wasn’t necessarily saying mike went to OU, just saying that I would think a news station in the OKC metro could do better with Ou being there. 

He was on another Okc station as regular  met. Then Channel four hired him away from that station

I still don’t know how mike Morgan has a job in the OKC market. So many good mets coming out of OU, one would think they could do better than Morgan. He’s incredibly entertaining to listen to, but he’s a hype machine. 

I was told he got his mets degree from Mississippi State. I took a summer metrology class for teachers from the Oklahoma Mesonet and got the download

Wasn’t Payne the one who said to leave your home in OKC during the El Reno tornado while there was flash flooding happening?
