What happened

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

An upper-level storm system moved toward the southern Rocky Mountains on the 22nd and early on the 23rd. Precipitation mainly in the form of snow developed over the Texas panhandle and moved east toward the northern half of Oklahoma. Cold temperatures at near or just above freezing allowed for the precipitation to remain in the form of snow as it entered western Oklahoma during the late morning hours of the 23rd. The precipitation was not widespread, but did contain pockets of brief moderate snowfall. The snow moved east during the afternoon hours before exiting by early in the evening. Totals were generally less than two inches, although a few locations received as much as four inches. No damages were reported due to the snowfall.
