2006A significant winter storm began on this day in 2006 and continued into the evening of November 30th

A significant winter storm began on this day in 2006 and continued into the evening of November 30th. Freezing rain, sleet, and snow fell continuously throughout Oklahoma with abundant amounts of sleet in southern Oklahoma. A few thunderstorms also occurred and further enhanced the sleet and freezing rain. In north-central Oklahoma, blizzard-like conditions caused many towns to shut down with visibilities near zero. By the end of the event, snow accumulation totals ranged from 4 to 12 inches. The highest total reported was 12 inches at Newkirk, in Kay County. Southern Oklahoma experienced several inches of sleet with ice accumulations up to 1/2 inch. Something interesting to note was that a week before the event, temperatures were in the lower and middle 70s, with record high temperatures being tied on the 24th.
