Winter storm heading toward Chicago dumps heavy snows in Oklahoma
These photos taken by Dale Clark in Piedmont, OK, a northwest suburb of Oklahoma City, offer a sign of what Chicagoans can expect to see during the day on Friday. Snow accumulations topped 7" there amid 40+m.p.h. wind gusts creating near blizzard conditions. The 7" tally which fell at Piedmont nearly equals the 8.1" which typically falls during an entire winter!!
