Daily Historical Weather for March 3

The cold front that brought severe weather the previous day, brought much cooler air to the region in 2008. The accompanying upper-level storm system blanketed parts of Oklahoma with as much as 5 inches of snow, with the highest totals reported in Atoka and Bryan counties.

A strong cold front that passed through Oklahoma on March 3rd, 1966, brought very strong winds that lasted through the 5th. Grass fires, aided by the strong winds, burned more than 3,000 acres near McAlester, and destroyed homes at Seminole and near Stillwater. Peak wind gusts included 70 MPH at Stillwater, 63 MPH at Gage, 60 MPH at Oklahoma City, 55 MPH at Ardmore, and 46 MPH at Hobart.
