What happened

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

A strong cold front brought cold arctic air to the region. A strong upper level storm system then translated across the region over the arctic air causing winter precipitation. Winter precipitation fell in the form of freezing rain, sleet, and snow beginning on November 29 and ended during the evening of November 30. Thunderstorms also occurred with the sleet and freezing rain. Strong north winds combined with the snow causing blizzard or blizzard-like conditions across parts of the area on November 30, with the worst conditions occurring in north central Oklahoma where the greatest snowfall fell. Before the precipitaion ended, most locations across approximately the western two-thirds of Oklahoma received some snow. However, many locations received other winter precipitation before changing over to snow. From northwest to southeast across the area the precipitation fell as all snow, a mix of sleet and snow, and a mix of sleet and freezing rain. Snowfall amounts ranged from less than an inch up to 12 inches. Most of the snowfall that was 4 inches or greater fell across the northern two-thirds of the area, with the greatest amounts occurring in north central Oklahoma where widespread amounts of 9 to 12 inches were reported. The highest total of 12 inches was reported in Newkirk in Kay county. Several inches of sleet fell across parts of central and southern Oklahoma. Ice glaze accumulations of up to 1/2 an inch were also reported across parts of central and southern Oklahoma. The winter precipitation caused hazardous travel across the area with numerous accidents reported.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
258 PM CST WED NOV 29 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FOCUS THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WAS ON WINTER STORM EVENT TONIGHT THRU
THURSDAY.

TSTMS CONT TO DEVELOP NEAR THE STRONG COLD FRONT THIS AFTN... WITH
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE INTO EARLY EVENING. TEMPERATURES CONT TO
RAPIDLY FALL INTO THE 30S WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE
FRONT WILL CONT TO MOVE SOUTH THE REST OF THIS AFTN INTO THIS
EVENING... EXITING THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS EVENING. THE OVERALL
THOUGHTS ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE WINTER PRECIPITATION THROUGH
THURSDAY HAS NOT CHANGED FROM THIS MORNING. STRONG UPR LOW WILL MOVE
INTO AND ACROSS SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THERE MAY BE A
LULL ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA BEFORE THE UPR LOW BEGINS TO STRONGLY
INFLUENCE THE AREA. HOWEVER... FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE. MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS ACROSS PARTS OF THE CWA... THAN PREVIOUS FORECASTS.
WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES STILL LOOK REASONABLE ACROSS
PARTS OF THE CWA... WITH MESOSCALE BAND OR BANDS DEVELOPING
SOMEWHERE PRODUCING EVEN HIGHER AMOUNTS. AS OF EARLY THIS AFTN...
THE GREATEST SNOW AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN NORTH CENTRAL OK.
HOWEVER... SITUATION IS STILL DEVELOPING AND THE AREA OF GREATEST
SNOWFALL CAN STILL CHANGE... ESPECIALLY DEPENDING ON WHERE THE SNOW
BANDS DEVELOP. IN THE SOUTHEAST SOME ICING DUE TO FREEZING RAIN MAY
OCCUR BEFORE PRECIP CHANGES OVER TO SNOW THURSDAY. WILL CONT WITH
WINTER WX ADVISORY THIS EVENING THEN A WINTER STORM WARNING
BEGINNING AT 9Z AND LASTING THRU THURSDAY EVENING.

THE OTHER STORY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BE TEMPERATURES AND WIND
CHILLS. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS AND TWENTIES
TONIGHT... WITH ONLY SMALL DIURNAL CHANGE EXPECTED THURSDAY /HIGHS
20S TO LOW 30S/ DUE TO CLDS... CAA... AND PRECIP. BREEZY NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL CAUSE WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO TEENS ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY... EXCEPT IN NORTHWEST OK
WHERE WIND CHILLS MAY FALL BELOW ZERO TONIGHT. THE COLDEST
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. SKIES
WILL BE CLEARING DUE TO THE UPR LOW MOVING OFF TO THE EAST. WITH
SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE REGION WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT THURSDAY
NIGHT. CLEARING SKIES... LIGHT WINDS... AND SNOW ON THE GROUND WILL
CAUSE TEMPS TO BECOME COLD. HOW COLD WILL DEPEND SOMEWHAT ON THE
AMOUNT OF SNOW COVER AND THE TIMING OF THE CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT
WINDS IN A LOCATION. LOWERED MAX TEMPS ON FRI DUE TO THE POTENTIAL
SNOW COVER EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA. DESPITE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE...
THE SNOW WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR TEMPS TO WARM DURING THE DAY.
DEPENDING ON HOW DEEP/EXTENSIVE THE SNOW COVER IS AND HOW LONG IT
LINGERS OVER THE AREA... TEMPS MAY BE SLOW TO WARM OVER THE WEEKEND
INTO NEXT WEEK IN SOME LOCATIONS. DUE TO THE FOCUS ON THE WINTER
STORM EVENT... DID NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO DAYS 4-7 FOR THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE.
