Although some areas of the state recorded as much as 18 inches of snow Monday and Tuesday, northeastern Oklahoma saw much less from storms that passed through the area.
Pete Snyder, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Tulsa, said the highest area snowfall was in Osage County, including 5 inches near Hulah.
Tulsa recorded four-tenths of an inch of snow.
"The temperature was a little warm, so that kept the snow down," Snyder said. "It melted on contact. It took awhile to accumulate."
The storm did bring some much-needed moisture to the area, however.
Tulsa recorded 1.21 inches of liquid precipitation on Monday alone, the first day since Oct. 13 to record more than an inch.
American Electric Power- Public Service Company of Oklahoma spokesman Stan Whiteford said power had been restored by noon Tuesday to most of the hundreds of customers in Nowata, Bartlesville and Vinita who were without power earlier Tuesday.
