Oklahoma City, meet the Great Lakes.
A weather event known as lake effect snow that’s common in the upper Midwest and northeastern U.S., made a rare appearance at Oklahoma City’s Lake Hefner on Wednesday.
Meteorologist Ryan Barnes with the National Weather Service in Norman said an area south of the lake in western Oklahoma City received lake effect snow about 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.
“Very rare,” Barnes said Thursday. “It’s very unusual … it definitely was snow.”
