The ice acumulations in Tulsa seem to be less than the high amounts that were possible. The conditions were always shifting to the north and then to the south, and it was hard to predict ahead of time.

I would say that there is anywhere from 1/4 of an inch to maybe almost 1/2 an inch in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. Other parts of the state probably did get more than that, though.

It has transitioned, finally, to sleet, instead of freezing rain here, as it was for most of the late afternoon and evening. And that’s good news.

Afterwards (according to the midnight report for that weather service link up above), there is a band of snow coming this way (this afternoon, according to what I heard) and it’s on the tail end of the storm. Last night they said it was a possible 6-8 inches of snow on the way. I haven’t seen today’s report yet, though.

On the weather service link, they reported in their latest report that Tulsa is just above the snow line on the map (snow to the north and freezing rain/sleet to the south).

And in the I-44 & S. Peoria area, it is snowing and has been for about an hour.

The forecast, at that last briefing (according to the map shown) is about 5 inches of snow for the Tulsa area.

They’ve got another briefing coming out this afternoon with more updates.

Yesterday that storm system from the West and Mexico had broken up into about three parts, and a dry band of air had rushed into Oklahoma, but now the system has reconsolidated and is one system again, and will swing down into Texas and then curve up slightly to the East Northeast direction, mostly going east though (it looked like to me.

Anyway, we’ve got a lot more snow coming this way in Tulsa, but perhaps not any more freezing rain and ice accumulations. It looks like about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch of ice around in my immediate area. It could be different in other areas of the metropolitan area of Tulsa.
