Over half the day was still technically a winter day since the sun crossed the equator after noon that day. Shouldn’t some of the snow count as winter snow? Mc Manus: When we talk “winter” snow, we are generally talking about the first day it snowed to the last day it snowed, regardless of whether it was December 21-March-21 or October 20-April 13. So yes, all of it counted as winter snow. Although it doesn’t look like we will, we could still receive a snow that would put us over the Oklahoma City record of 25.2 in 1947-48. Also what were the snow totals for the other months of the winter- such as January February and March? No other months set records in Oklahoma City: OKLAHOMA CITY WILL ROGERS AIRPORT date, month|snow 2009-December,14.0 inches 2010-January,5.2 inches 2010-February,1.5 inches 2010-March, 2.5 inchesWere any of the months other than December snowiest on record?

Also what were the snow totals for the other months of the winter- such as January February and March? Were any of the months other than December snowiest on record? How about March?
