Will Rogers World Airport stops aircraft operations
Due to continuing deteriorating weather conditions, Will Rogers World Airport closed all runways to aircraft operations today at approximately 2:30pm.
While airport maintenance crews have been working nonstop clearing the runways, heavily falling snow and near zero visibility have kept them from being able to improve conditions.
The airport will remain closed until weather conditions improve and runway and taxiways can be cleared safely to allow aircraft operations.
Airlines are working with ticketed passengers to reschedule their flights. All other travelers should check with their airlines for additional cancellations or changes.

This city is an EMBARRASSMENT. The local news obsesses with the weather. The city cannot deal with 5″ of snow and and the airport shuts down. During the last storm, I returned from the Cayman Islands the night of the 26th, two days after the snow. I could hardly get out of the airport parking facility due to the huge amount of snow/ice IN THE LANES OF THE PARKING LOT! Good grief! OKC strives to be such a metropoliton but really, is more like a third world village in so many respects. Im originally from Denver. I know how well planned cities function with a bit of snow.
They do NOT shut down.
