Ice Storm in Custer, Oklahoma

Slick roads resulted in a car wreck including one fatality and a multi-car pileup. Additionally, electric co-ops reported over 900 outages with an estimated $28K worth of damages.

An upper low coming onto the Pacific coast combined with abundant gulf moisture to produce scattered showers on the 13th, transitioning to widespread showers on the 14th and 15th. Temperature hovered near and just below freezing across parts of northern, western, and central Oklahoma allowing much of the precipitation to come in the form of freezing rain. Power outages in the CWA totaled to near 20,000 (mostly in northwest Oklahoma).
