As cold temperatures moved into the community, so did the white blanket of glistening snow making travel treacherous and dangerous. City crews all over were working endlessly, treating the streets to help travelers that had to be out and about in it, safe. With this last storm system, the Bristow area received approximately three to four inches of snow with the more southeastern areas of the state receiving even more. McAlester is reported to have received five inches of the old white stuff and Henryetta received a total accumulation of nine inches.
Children all over enjoyed playing in the snow, making snow angels, snowmen and snowballs while most enjoyed staying inside with a cup of hot chocolate.
Now since old man winter showed its face for a few days, the skies open up to the sixties this coming Thursday and Friday, then beginning Saturday the temperatures begin to plummet again, with lows in the teens and high’s in the 20’s. So we all go back to leaving the water at a steady drip and making sure those animals are protected. How does the saying go “Only in Oklahoma”.
The Bristow Hstorical Society asked people to post some photos to the historical society’s social media site. A lot of great photographers are out there as some really good pictures were taken and submitted. Above are just a few.
