Narrative:
While holding at the blue ridge VOR (buj) at FL330, I noticed the left engine oil quantity had dropped to zero. Associated low oil pressure indications and low oil pressure light indications were observed. The engine was shut down in accordance with procedure. I declared an emergency and diverted to tulsa, ok. As a result of inclement WX at dfw. A single engine approach and landing was completed.
