Are you seeing snow where you are? Shoot me a pic in the comments!

The heaviest mix of snow and sleet continues south of Tulsa.
Looks like the Tulsa metro will escape winter impacts by about 25 miles!

Updated:
Highest impact will be on untreated roads/bridges, but impact likely on streets/roads too.
For Tulsa Metro, esp S of 71st Street: more sleet/snow.
1/2”-2” totals now in South Metro. More sleet-closer to 1/2” Patches of frzg drizzle too.
Timing is still 4a to 10a.

Skipperdog noticed the sweaty patio.

Not rain, this happens when winds bring humid air in over cold ground/pavement.
The dewpoint is higher than the ground temp, and that moisture condenses on cooler surfaces.
Usually happens in spring and fall when a humid south wind develops quickly. #okwx

Tulsa drivers:
Another wreck on the BA Expressway, at I-44, westbound direction.

Tulsa's most poorly designed interchange. Bad idea to have entering traffic, exiting traffic, and a lane ending, all in 1/4 mile. Bad, Bad design that needs to be addressed.
