Where We Stand With Snowfall So Far
February 9, 2010 at 12:50pm CST
Having experienced several significant storms this winter, parts of western and central Oklahoma and western North Texas have seen their seasonal snowfall totals for 2009-2010 grow to considerable levels. When we talk about seasonal snowfall totals we mean the amount of snow that falls over the course of the winter, rather than in a calendar year. Below, you will see some of the statistics for this winter’s snowfall in Oklahoma City. These figures will be updated over the next several months. Even after winter, numbers can be adjusted.
Oklahoma City (Records back to 1892-1893 winter)
- 7th Highest Total Snowfall – 19.9″
- The seasonal snowfall so far is the most since the 1987-1988 winter (22 years).
- Snowiest December on Record – 14.0″, breaking the previous record of 9.0″ in 1914-1915
- Record storm total snowfall – 13.5″ on December 24, 2009
In order to break the seasonal snowfall record, Oklahoma City would need to measure an additional 5.4 inches of snow. Oklahoma City averages 8.6 inches of snow every winter, with 2.1 inches on average in February, and 0.7 inches in March. Averages are computed using the 1971-2000 period of record.
The top 6 are:
No. 1 in Oklahoma City is 25.2 inches in 1947-48.
2. 24.4 inches, 1967-68
3. (tie) 23.5, 1912-1913
3. (tie) 23.5, 1987-88
5. 21.5, 1923-24
6. 20.4, 1977-78
