In
December,
Oklahoma fully steps into winter's domain. The temperatures further drop, generally fluctuating between 28°F (-2.2°C) and 55°F (12.8°C), marking a definitive transition from the temperate days of the preceding months. Early mornings often greet the residents with a frosty touch, while evenings and nights can be notably chilly.
The western expanses, inclusive of the panhandle, experience a pronounced cold, emblematic of their semi-arid climate. Meanwhile, the eastern regions, while cold, retain a semblance of moisture in the air, making the temperatures feel slightly milder in comparison.
Rainfall in December is sporadic, and there's a heightened possibility of snowfall, particularly in the northern and western sections of the state. The snow, while not exceptionally heavy, blankets the landscapes, rendering them into picturesque winter wonderlands. Snowfall in the southeast is rarer, but when it does occur, it adds a magical touch to the already serene settings.
The threat of tornadoes in December is almost negligible. However, Oklahoma's position in "Tornado Alley" always warrants a degree of caution, even during the quieter winter months.
The landscapes of December are dominated by barren trees, their skeletal branches stark against the often overcast skies. But this starkness is beautifully offset by festive decorations, as residents prepare for the holiday season. Twinkling lights, wreaths, and other adornments transform towns and cities, infusing warmth and cheer into the cold days. Outdoor pursuits are fewer, replaced by indoor gatherings, holiday celebrations, and the joy of the festive season. The anticipation of the New Year is palpable as December advances, setting the stage for the even colder days of
January and the promise of a fresh start.
