Okay, Mother Nature, we get it. You let Jack Frost out to play, but forgot to call him in for supper. Wednesday's five inches or so of snow reminds us of our fragile environment. Despite it all, there's a strange beauty in a scene with white snow on red and pink flowering trees. Ken Collins shares these photos with Icon viewers. This photo was taken in rural Ada around 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Click here to view more photos.
News alert: Snow expected. Snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches. Localized amounts up to 5 inches are possible. Snow may mix with or transition to all rain at times early this evening.
That’s the announcement this afternoon from the National Weather Service as it issued a wintery weather advisory in effect until 7 a.m. Wednesday, April 21.
