For only the 7th time in 106 years, people in Oklahoma City wake up to a White Christmas. At least 13 inches of snow had fallen up to last night at Will Rodgers World Airport. At one point, a heavy band dropped 4 inches in one hour. The Governor declared a disaster area and ordered ever interstate and turnpike closed:
“I am urging all Oklahomans to take winter storm precautions and stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary,” Gov. Brad Henry said earlier in the day after declaring a state of emergency. “This is a very serious winter storm, and we want Oklahomans to stay safe.”
This is the second blizzard to hit the region this month. See more pictures in the slide show below:
