As the intense deformation zone rotated through central OK, a few bands with snowfall rates of 2+ inches per hour pounded Norman, OK from 5:00 - 8:00 pm. Lightning strikes were reported in Oklahoma and Grady County, and wind gusts over 40 mph caused major blowing and drifting of the snow with many drifts over 2 feet in depth. TornadoVideos.net documented this winter storm during its peak intensity. A few of our pictures from Norman, OK are posted below.
The intense snowband that yielded a majority of the accumulations in the Norman area can be seen in the radar image below from around 6:30 pm. This band produced over 7 inches of snow in parts of southeast Cleveland County in only a few hours.

Nice pictures! I can't even imagine that.
Due to the extreme winds, snow measurement became a problem, but I estimated about 7 inches here in north norman. Star and I were out making a massive "snow mound" in my front yard when the heaviest bands moved thru between 5:30pm and 8pm. 12th st and Shadowlake looked like a mountain pass w/ winds gusting near 40mph and visibility only 1/8 mile at best. I also have pics of 2 1/2 foot snow drifts in my backyard!!!!!!!
