Local Weather History For January 5th...

A series of storm systems brought heavy snow and bitterly cold arctic
air to the southern plains during the week of January 4th through
11th, in 1988. A large portion of Oklahoma received at least 10
inches of snow, with North Texas receiving up to 3 inches. Some
locations across western Oklahoma measured 16 to 18 inch total
amounts over the period, with snow drifts reaching 4 feet. Oklahoma
City totaled 12.1 inches of snow over a three day period, from the
5th to the 7th, which is Oklahoma Citys second highest storm total
accumulation. Accompanying the heavy snow were record breaking cold
temperatures. The mercury dropped below the freezing mark on the 4th
