Local Weather History For November 13th...
|
|
1961 (13th-15th): The earliest winter snowstorm consisting of over one foot of snow buried parts of extreme West TX, the
western TX Panhandle and western South Plains nearest the New Mexico border. A tight gradient of heavy snow between four inches to as much as 20 inches along the New Mexico border was measured. Hartley officially recorded 20 inches. Farther east over the remainder of the Panhandle and South Plains, freezing rain left a heavy coating of ice. Area trees had yet to lose their leaves and this compounded the damages to many trees which succumbed to excessive stress. A pilot was killed in a plane crash near Canyon during the height of the storm. Interestingly, El Paso measured 7.8 inches of snow during this storm; the heaviest November snow there in 55 years. |
