City Appears Spared from Snow; Cold Coming
MONDAY, FEB. 8, 2 p.m. – Although moderate to heavy snow fell in parts of Sand Springs this morning, temperatures at or above freezing kept most of it from sticking to the ground or on area streets and highways.
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday, and additional bands of snow are expected throughout the day and into this evening. However, the latest National Weather Service data indicates only about an inch of snow accumulation is expected.
Arctic air and stiff winds will become the storyline overnight tonight. Tuesday morning wind chill indexes are expected to be in the single digits. Cold temperatures are expected to stay in place through mid-week. Area streets and highways were primarily reported to be wet at 1:30 p.m.
City Street Divisions crews are mobilized with plow and sanding trucks, and will work an around-the-clock schedule as necessary to plow and treat arterial and residential collector streets. City plow and sanding routes do not include individual residential streets.
