It's not that scary to me, but I grew up in New England and the Adirondacks. It just sucks. It's dangerous in this part of the country because towns and people are not equipped to deal with it.
Two years ago, we had an epic ice storm here- THAT was dangerous- Tulsa alone lost nearly a million trees, and 650K people did not have power in the frigid temperatures- lines were down and live, and the connections snapped off of houses. Plus- ice is much more dangerous than snow.

The snow isn't scary, but the ice storms are. With the snow, you just stay home and don't plan on going anywhere. The ice storms can be very dangerous. As Maggie mentioned, the ice storm we had 07, I was without power for only 2 days and thought I was going to freeze to death. Some people were without for 2 weeks or longer.

This is record breaking. Usually in OK, we get an inch or two, and it melts in a day. This is not typical weather for Oklahoma at all. Upstate New York, yes. Oklahoma, NO.
