Mangum, Oklahoma, Goes from Nearly 100 degree wearther to Snowfall in 72 Hours

At a Glance

• Temperatures dropped more than 60 degrees from all-time February record highs.
• Snow fell across the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma three days after the record heat.

Some Oklahomans experienced a temperature drop from all-time February record highs to near freezing in three days earlier this week.
Temperatures dropped 66 degrees between Saturday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon after tying the state record for highest temperature recorded in February.
Many locations across the southern Plains had record high temperatures on Saturday as warm temperatures were funneled in from the south ahead of the strong cold front. Fire danger was high due to low humidity and gusty conditions before rain and cooler air moved in.

The initial burst of cooler air came Sunday, following a cold front that pushed through the southern Plains. The Valentine's Day snow came from a ripple on that cold front and upper-level system that sparked precipitation across the South.
Temperatures cooled even more, as much as five degrees, in Mangum as snow began to fall.
Snow did accumulate in portions of the Texas Panhandle and in southwestern Oklahoma, but did not stick around for long due to the warm ground and rain that followed as temperatures warmed up late Tuesday.
