Wild Reed. I love your enthusiasm for weather.

Thanks for the technical information too. Like the sounding at the video start.

I'm from Texas and really haven't experienced weather like this, but I plan on going to OU!

Down here in Loving Texas, 98º 28' 35" W 33º 13' 32" N elevation 386m, this storm dropped in excess of 2" of rain during the day. We were clipped by the northern edge of a line of severe thunder storms. As I type this, the temperature is 38ºF with a NWS forecast low expected to drop down to 30ºF. Not as bad as Reed showed in the video for central Oklahoma.

Thanks for describing how that icing occurs I've always wondered how that happened.

@Bluestorm5 Yep. Right now in Hope Mills, it snowed when I went to sleep. Later, I woke up, took a look outside, and it had snowed. I went back to sleep, then I woke up again and went outside. The snow had melted then refroze as ice. Later, there was more freezing rain and the ice got so hard and thick that my feet never touched solid ground. To top it all off, it's supposed to snow again tomorrow.

in North Carolina, there is supposed to get .5 to .75 inch of ICE

I'd rather drive through a tornado than an ice storm. I hope everyone's okay there.

[mckuletzz]

[Bluestorm]

I moved from the North East, grew up on Long Island NY, lived in NJ, and then Eastern Pa before coming to Texas in 1991.

The USDA's planting zone map has North Central Texas in the same temperature zone as Long Island. It can get into the teen's here. Texas just does not have the long solid, below freezing, period that Long Island NY does.

I like to think of is as - Texas has just enough Winter to remind people not to move back North.

I wouldn't have thought of Oklahoma as a state to get snow and ice.
