Event narrative

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation reports one fatal accident in Love county resulting from slick road conditions.

Wider weather episode

An arctic front moved through Oklahoma during the evening hours on the 9th. As very cold air spilled into Oklahoma from the North, a strong upper level wave moved over southern Oklahoma and northern Texas. Strong lift associated with this system was enough to generate a narrow band of light to moderate snow. Several areas saw snow accumulation, including parts of the Arbuckles Mountains in south-central Oklahoma. Snow accumulations ranged from a dusting to around an inch and a half.
