For OUN, we switched over around 2:30-3:00am, right on schedule. However, the totals have not lived up to expectations. It seemed like we were getting small, grainy flakes, at least for the first several hours, while places farther N in the metro area were accumulating more efficiently. Drove up to Moore just after the changeover and the difference in visibility and flake size was pretty remarkable for an ~8 mi. difference.

I just trudged out and it seems the average of all my measurements here in SE Norman was 5-6"... with a range of 0" to almost 2', lol.

Latest METAR's indicate 11" and 15" at KOKC and KTUL, respectively.

Still a high impact event for Norman though. I mean I went down to the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History to take pics this morning because that part of campus is beautiful and I could have climbed up on top of the giant buffalo statue out front without anyone ever knowing about it...that's how deserted it was. (P.S. - Don't worry I didn't do that lol)

KOTV just reported 14.5 inches in owasso and 12.3 at the NWS in Tulsa, making this so far the 2nd highest snowfall recorded there. And it's still coming down in Owasso here. NWS is saying 3-5 more likely with 14-22 totals possible.

New Euro is painting out another .40 between noon and 6PM for both JLN and SGF, so guess its possible this deform band could perform a bit.

I would also guess that snow ratios will be higher than 10:1 with that snow, too. That would bump totals up. Looks like my forecast may still come to fruition.
