What kind of winter will oklahoma have

Note: The following information is based on a long-term snowfall study conducted by WFO Norman staff. The study was used to write a technical memorandum entitled "Monthly and Geographic Distribution of Heavy Snow Events in Oklahoma, After sifting through more than 50 years of daily snowfall reports in Oklahoma, forecasters at WFO Norman have identified heavy snow events that occurred within the Sooner State between January and April Note that there may have been additional events that were not reported.

Heavy snow sometimes falls in very localized areas, in which case the heaviest amount may not fall at a reporting station. For the entire state, the average number of events per season is somewhere between 4 and 5. But the range is from none at all in and to a maximum of 11 The events were sorted by calendar month to produce a graph of the relative monthly distribution of Oklahoma heavy snow events.

Heavy snow has fallen in the state as early as the second week of October October and as late as the first week of May 3 May The frequency increases gradually from October through December, to a peak in January. But from there the frequency levels off through February and March, before falling sharply in April.

An interesting note is that "major" snowstorms, producing maximum storm totals of 16 inches or more, show a marked preference for March. In fact, five of the top ten snowstorms based on maximum reported storm totals in Oklahoma since occurred in March. These storms are listed in the following table. Each of the events was mapped by plotting all available storm-total snowfall amounts, and highlighting the counties which were affected - wholly or in large part - by snowfall of 4 inches or more.

An example can be seen here , which shows the distribution of snowfall during the major winter storm of late December Note: This event will be remembered most for the crippling ice storm across much of southern and eastern Oklahoma. But the map only shows snowfall, not ice accumulation. Jack Money Oklahoman. Show Caption. Hide Caption. Cooler temperatures in the Northwest bring first snow of season.
