Temperature swings 100 degrees in one week in Okla. town
By Liz Goodwin
Residents in the Northern Oklahoma town of Nowata experienced a nearly 110-degree shift in the weather this week after a cold front brought temperatures down to a record-setting -31 degrees.
Today, it's a balmy 72 degrees in Nowata. Yesterday, it reached 79 degrees.
"Isn't it crazy? I love it," Nowata resident Julie Koupe told local channel News on 6.
On Feb. 10, it was slightly colder in the region than it was on the South Pole, notes Tulsa World writer Cary Aspinall. More than 3,000 Nowata homes lost power and residents spent the next few days digging their cars and homes out of the snow. There was so much snow in Tulsa last week that city officials began debating provisional plans to truck it out of town.
On Thursday, the 79 degree weather tied for the warmest Feb. 17 since 1907.
