1999 (8th-9th): After a winter storm on the 4th, another system entered the South Plains early this morning. Cold air was
already in place as the storm approached West Texas as a cold front had moved through the area on the 8th. Snow developed over the counties bordering New Mexico as the system approached from the west during the late evening of the 8th and the snow increased in coverage and intensity on the 9th. The atmosphere was moist and unstable with this system, resulting in a considerable amount of thundersnow with snow rates up to two inches per hour. Accumulations of four to six inches occurred in Parmer, Castro, Swisher, Lamb, Hale, Hockley, and Lubbock Counties with one to three inches widespread across the remainder of the Southern Panhandle and South Plains. Roads were closed in portions of Castro and Parmer Counties with drifts reportedly 4 feet high. The snowpack remained in Castro County for several days after the storm moved out of the area. |
