Local Weather History For March 2nd...

2008 (2nd-3rd): A powerful winter storm brought a combination of high winds and winter weather, including accumulating
snowfall, to the West Texas South Plains region during the evening hours of the 2nd and into the 3rd. Post frontal
northerly winds gusted as high as 62 mph and were sustained at speeds up to 47 mph during the evening hours of the 2nd and
the early morning hours of the 3rd over the northwestern half of the South Plains per measurements from the Texas Tech
University West Texas Mesonet. These winds destroyed a metal storage shed when it was blown through a fence in Muleshoe
and snapped a power pole in Childress. In addition, snow began to fall over much of the South Plains shortly before
midnight on the 2nd. With high winds continuing into the morning hours of the 3rd, periods of blowing snow significantly
reduced visibilities to near blizzard conditions. This contributed to at least two dozen automobile accidents across the
region. Injuries were reported as a result of accidents in Castro and Hockley Counties.
