Local Weather History For December 5th...
2011 (5th-6th): Following on the heels of a wintry storm three days earlier, an upper level trough moved over the region
on the 5th causing widespread snowfall across the region. Snow began early in the morning hours with the heaviest snow
accumulating early in the event; particularly in Friona where six inches was measured. The snow then tapered off late on
the fifth into the early morning hours of the 6th. Numerous vehicle accidents were reported in the city of Lubbock as well
as in surrounding areas where generally two inches of snow had fallen. No serious injuries were reported.
