A winter storm moved through Oklahoma Friday morning bringing another round of snow to the Oklahoma City metro.

From Chief Meteorologist David Payne: The heaviest snow is moving through as of now (6 a.m.) but will taper off by mid-morning. News 9's storm trackers are out and about. Jeromy and Ramie Carter report that Oklahoma City metro roads are slick and hazardous Friday morning.

Current accidents include:

  1. - Reno and Meridian, OKC
  2. - I-40 and Sunnylane
  3. - I-240 eastbound at Western
  4. - I-240 eastbound at Walker

A winter weather advisory is in effect for several counties across the state until 6 p.m. Friday.

This is expected to bring snow totals around 1-2 inches and light ice under an inch across the state. These conditions are likely to cause hazardous road conditions starting early Friday morning. David Payne said the sun will come out later Friday, and the roads will improve considerably.
