Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "From high plains of the panhandleto the hillsd of Little Dixie, Oklahomans shivered and shook Wednesday as a bitter winter blast pushed the therometer toward the sub-zero mark.

Traffic was moving throughout the state except for a few isolated spots in the storm-struck Panhandle. In that area, U. S. 54 was closed southwest of Guymon and U. S. 64 through the middle of Texas, Beaver and Cimarron counties was partially blocked by drifting snow.
