Oklahoma City streets are covered this morning with what a city spokeswoman called a powdery snow, but conditions are better than during last week's blizzard.
Snowfall has been heavy north of Interstate 40 this morning, and more bands of snow are expected to move across Oklahoma City before mostly moving out of the area by noon. Wind gusts are likely to create blowing snow this afternoon.
Some drifting of roads has happened, with more than 4 inches of snow reported in Oklahoma City. Sustained winds of 25 mph have been reported.
City crews are trying to move drifts to the sides of streets, said Kristy Yager, Oklahoma City spokeswoman.
“We've had a very dry snow so it's difficult to plow,” Yager said. “We plow it to the side of the street and the wind just blows it back in the street.” FULL ARTICLE
