Tulsa Weathers First Big Freeze, but More are Likely Ahead

KWGS News

The bitter cold and taste of winter precipitation put the state in the deep freeze, but Tulsa Area Emergency Manager Roger Joliffe says it could have been worse. He says the lack of significant snow and freezing rain and quick work clearing slick spots kept crashes down.

Joliffe says it did give people a chance to test how they would respond to a more significant winter event. He reminds Tulsa area citizens major winter storms are more likely to occur in January, February, or even March.
