Local Weather History For December 21st...

In 2013, a significant winter storm affected Oklahoma and western
north Texas from December 20th to the 22nd. This storm brought
significant amounts of ice to much of central and southwest Oklahoma,
while dumping up to six inches of snow across northwest Oklahoma. Up
to three-quarters of an inch of ice accumulated over Canadian and
Caddo counties, around Fort Cobb and El Reno. The rest of central and
southwest Oklahoma, and adjacent parts of north Texas, saw between
one-quarter and one-half inch. The ice brought down numerous tree
limbs and resulted in brief power disruptions. The highest snow
totals were seen around Laverne, Rosston, and Buffalo.
