Local Weather History For November 26th...

2015 (26th-28th): Behind a sharp cold front that ignited a few strong thunderstorms late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving
Day, freezing rain and freezing drizzle developed from late in the evening while continuing on and off through Saturday
the 28th. The brunt of the ice fell on Black Friday which dealt a heavy blow to area merchants expecting strong holiday
sales. The worst ice accumulations of 1/2" to 1" fell in a swath from just east of Crosbyton northeast to
Matador, Paducah and Childress. This ice was aided by elevated thunderstorms with heavy icing rates on the evening of the
27th. Thousands of residents in Motlecy, Dickens, Cottle, and Childress Counties were without power for up to three days
due to about 100 miles of failed utility lines and 90 fallen power poles. Scores of vehicle accidents, mostly minor, were
common especially on Lubbock overpasses where around 1/4" of ice accumulated.
