Oklahoma snow records
From Gary McManus, associate state climatologist, at the Oklahoma Climatological Survey:
24-hour snowfall: Spavinaw, 27 inches (Feb. 8-9, 2011)
Storm-total snowfall: Buffalo, 36 inches (Feb. 20-22, 1971)
Monthly snowfall: Buffalo, 39.5 inches (February 1971)
Seasonal snowfall: Beaver, 87.3 inches (1911-12)
This isn’t unprecedented in recent memory, whether you’re talking blizzard or
heavy snow. There’s the aforementioned Spavinaw record from just a couple of
years ago, and that amount broke the record set during a blizzard in late March
2009. Freedom and Alva recorded 26 inches in an early spring blizzard that
year.
