Briefing on today’s winter storm

From Mike Honigsberg, of the Enid/Garfield County Emergency Management:

The National Weather Service has stated that our transition to snow should be anytime from 11 to 1 p.m. The freezing line hasn’t made it solidly into the area yet. We have had about 1.5 to 2 inches of rain in the region. Translate this to snow fall, we may have had 4-6 inches if we had been below freezing. Either way, it’s moisture.

Thinking is still 6-10 inches of snow but what falls will fall. We will measure it if possible when it’s done. Overall, we still have a strong winter event coming to the area so stay vigilant in your preparedness efforts.

The Garfield County Courthouse will close at 2 p.m.

Some snowfall measurements from out west are 9 inches at ALVA, 6 inches at SHATTUCK, 2 inches at HELENA, 8 inches at LAVERNE, 12 inches at WOODWARD.
