  An upper level storm system brought sleet and freezing rain to much of
  Oklahoma on the 1st. Surface air temperatures were well below freezing
  so roads quickly became ice covered and dangerous. Roads remained ice
  covered until temperatures rose above freezin  g late in the morning on
  the 2nd. Numerous traffic accidents occurred and a few power outages
  were reported. In Oklahoma City, a 35-car pileup occurred around 2 am
  on the 1st. A man was killed just west of Guymon when he lost control
  of his pickup and it collided with another vehicle. Near Durant, a
  woman lost her life when her vehicle slid off the road and hit a tree.

  Another woman lost her life in Oklahoma City when the car she was
  riding it hit a semi-trailer. The car was then hit by another vehicle
  and burst into flames. In Pontotoc County, a man died after his car
  slid off the road and hit a tree. The storm also caused problems for
  those flying as two 737s slid off icy runways at Will Rogers Airport.

  Many other flights were either delayed or canceled.
