Mesonet Freeze Update (subtitled: Who said Oklahoma has no terrain?)

With the exception of the panhandle west of Guymon, most of Oklahoma
escaped a hard or prolonged freeze this morning, according to Oklahoma
Mesonet data.  In fact, only eight Mesonet stations did time below 32 F
last night:

Boise City   22 F
Kenton       25 F
Goodwell     29 F
Antlers      29 F
Hooker       30 F
Slapout      30 F
Beaver       30 F
Weatherford  31 F

Yes, that's right, Antlers.  Just before sunrise, the winds in this
Kiamichi River Valley station shifted to the northwest, and a tongue

got a taste of some good old-fashioned cold air drainage.

As always, the high and low temperatures for the current day are kept at:
