Lawton’s Rare Snow Leaves Residents Scrambling For Help

Snow is not a common occurrence in Lawton, or Oklahoma in general, so not all residents have snow shovels or snow blowers to clear their driveways. So what are Lawton residents doing? Are they shoveling their driveways or waiting for the snow to melt?

We noticed Lawton residents have taken to social media to ask who to contact on getting their driveways cleared of snow. Some people said neighborhood kids are offering to shovel driveways for cash. Others recommended local lawncare businesses that may be taking on snow clearing for the time being.

When will the snow melt in Oklahoma?

If residents can't shovel their driveway and don't want to pay anyone to clear it, then most residents will just wait for the snow to melt. But when will the snow melt in Oklahoma?

Temperatures just reached freezing on Tuesday afternoon. Daytime highs will slowly increase this week, but overnight refreezing may keep driveways and road conditions hazardous.

So, if you're one of the Lawton residents waiting for the snow to melt in your driveway, it may be a while. Plus, another arctic blast is expected over the weekend, so the snow may be around over the weekend.
