Winter weather closures: Dec. 27, 2018

Staff Writer

Road and business closures have been announced after a snow storm has come through the region, dropping several inches of snow. In Guymon, the snow followed behind several hours of rain.

From the Oklahoma Department of Transportation:
Highway Conditions Alert 12-27-18 as of 11:30 a.m.
US-412/US-64/US-56/SH-3 closed due to snow
US-412/US-64/US-56/SH-3 is closed between Guymon to Boise City to the New Mexico state line due to blowing snow and multiple stalled vehicles. ODOT crews are continuing to treat and plow the snow packed roads and clear the traffic backup. Travel in this region is strongly discouraged as visibility is greatly reduced due to blowing snow.
US-54 at Guymon is closed due to snow
US-54 is closed from Guymon to the Texas state line due to heavy snow and poor visibility conditions.
Oklahoma Department of Transportation crews in the Panhandle are treating and plowing snow packed roads in Cimarrron, Texas and western Beaver counties. Travel in this region is strongly discouraged as visibility is greatly reduced due to blowing snow.
REMEMBER during snowy and icy conditions, motorists are asked to:
• Stay about 200 feet behind road clearing equipment; crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice.
• Allow extra space between vehicles to provide adequate distance for braking.
• Be aware of "black ice," which looks wet on the roadway but is a thin layer of ice.
• Be patient, plan trips ahead and allow extra time in reaching destinations.
NOTE: Additional advisories will be sent from this office at 4 p.m. if conditions change.

Currently, the road from Guymon to the Texas/Oklahoma border is CLOSED, with all roads listed with SEVERE conditions:
