"Some areas of the Oklahoma panhandle have received more than 4 inches of snow...."

Four inches? Four...? Of...snow? That will be gone in a day? Quelle horreur!

"The state of emergency ...is the first step toward seeking federal aid."

Ah. Now I get it. From the Party of Personal Responsibility™, i.e., the "takers", wanting more of "our shit". Remember back in 2012 when Sen. Rand Paul said Hurricane Sandy relief should be offset by cutting spending elsewhere...? Well, Oklahoma...?
