[QUOTE="garytx, post: 3747354, member: 49752"] In a typical winter expect there to be 3-7 waves of weather events with snow. Most of the time snow will stay on the ground 1-3 days with primary roads being clear on day 2 and secondary cleared on day 3. About every 8 years expect a really harsh winter where you'll wish for a generator to keep the house warm and the lights on, this will last 7-12 days. Expect more weather extremes in the NW region of the state. More rain in the eastern third of the state. Anywhere you choose, be sure to have a tornado shelter. You will need it.

Weather seasons are probably more balanced in Oklahoma than any other state. Each season lasts roughly the same number of days, whereas South Dakota/Minnesota is 9 months cold, 3 months warm. Land will range from less expensive to over priced beginning in the NW continuing to the W, SW, North Central, North East, with the South Central and South East being the most expensive. Houses on small acreages will be less expensive when you get farther away from Texas, OKC and Tulsa.
