Local Weather History For February 12th...

1997: Localized heavy snow fell across the southwestern South Plains this morning resulting in up to one foot worth at
Sundown in Hockley County. Other snow amounts included eight inches at Levelland and Slaton, and seven inches in
Brownfield. Generally, most areas saw between four and six inches of snow, however the city of Lubbock missed out with
only two to three inches reported. Much lighter snow fell the following day in these areas with up to three inches of
additional snow measured.
