Local Weather History For January 26th...

2009 (26th-27th): An Arctic airmass invaded the West Texas South Plains on the 25th and dropped daytime temperatures into
the 20s across the region. Widespread clouds and freezing fog transitioned to a light wintry mix of snow, sleet, freezing
rain, and freezing drizzle by midday on the 26th. Intermittent precipitation fell over the area through the 27th, with
total accumulations ranging between one and two tenths of an inch. Automobile accidents were reported in Childress, Hale,
Hall, Hockley, Garza, Lubbock, and Terry Counties. One man was injured in a single vehicle roll over near Brownfield.
Weather was attributed to nearly a dozen accidents in Garza County, but no injuries were reported. At the Lubbock Preston
Smith Airport, an ATR-42 twin turboprop cargo aircraft landed short of the runway in the adverse weather conditions at
4:37 AM on the 27th. A fire developed onboard the airplane after impact and the aircraft and its cargo were destroyed. The
pilot and co-pilot were transferred to a local hospital with injuries. In all, the light wintry precipitation resulted in
nearly $3.25M in damages and three injuries.
