For such storms, just use dates given if we are unable to dig up any sources, because those dates were clearly stated on the Weather Channel and other news headlines, even if those sources aren't online anymore. As for the dating issues, we should be able to find other reliable sources out there that contain the dates we need. The WPC isn't the only agency that keeps track of winter storms, so with enough effort, we should be able to get something.

I notice that the NCDC storm events database as been updated to include events upto the end of December. That should help define dates of systems and add content to this article.

Project
Prior to about midnight on March 23, I was unable to make any significant revisions to many articles, with many of my edits limited to smaller tasks. I am disappointed to see that zero editors have made any contributions to the article at all (apart from me). If no one is even willing to make a single minor edit over nearly four days, maybe we should just ditch this project and forget about it. Even I, being the only editor, am losing interest because it appears that no one else even cares.

I wasn't trying to seem impatient or anything if it appeared that way to anyone who read the my prior message (just above). I suppose that I should probably give the article some more time. It's just that I don't like the idea of creating an article that no one wants to help with.

Don't mind that comment; I was getting a bit ahead of myself and was suffering a bit from a lack of encouragement because no one else was making edits. When I give it thought, I suspect that the reason is at least partly because I have refrained from making links from other articles to this one as well as from adding categories; I just wanted to get a few sections partially done first. I would appreciate it if you would contribute, but this is still an option of your own choice.

I found several sources from the WFO in Norman here:
[1]. The forecasters in Norman I have found to be very reliable when it comes to hosting summaries and data on their site, especially in recent years. I know that not all of the storms impacted Oklahoma, but there is a good compilation of a few here, and I haven't found any comparable lists from other WFOs (at least, not yet).

Sources
I think that it would be a good idea if anyone willing to help would try to compile sources here for later use; not everyone seems to be all too interested in editing this article at the moment, but it would be nice to at least receive aid in the form of potential references.

Early-October winter storm
Here are some NWS sources for the major winter storm that occurred near the beginning of October:
Here are a few NWS sources for the December winter storm (I won't guarantee they will all be useful). The storm's icy characteristic vanished for awhile before returning while the storm was in the extreme northeastern United States; I didn't find any sources from the east coast WFOs for some reason, though. In any case, the sources I have found so far are as follows:
I'm noticing that the article is still lacking some detail so as a result, I think it may be best if this article goes under more major changes akin to the changes that occurred in September that
Dustin V. S. (
talk ·contribs) made. But instead of major formatting changes, I think the focus on this set of changes will be the search for more major winter weather events in the season, as there are quite a few. I've technically started this transition about a month ago with the creation of the
Early January 2014 nor'easter article regarding the winter storm that occurred right at the start of 2014. Also, I'm considering making an article based on the winter storm/blizzard that occurred in the middle of January that dropped up to a foot of snow around the
New York City area. The title I am going for right now for the article will probably be January 2014 United States blizzard, as this storm mainly seemed to impact the United States.
If anyone would like to contribute to this project-sort-of-thing, comment down below and feel free to include what storms would be necessary for inclusion in the article. --
