A storm system moved across Kansas/Nebraska early Sunday morning and produced widespread freezing rain in Oklahoma, especially along the I-44 Corridor. This area received at least 1.5 inches of ice accumulations with some areas up to 3 inches from Oklahoma City to Tulsa. Many adjacent areas received 1/2 inches of ice with 1/4 inches farther south and north from the highest impact areas. At one point over 600,000 customers were without power.
