Local Weather History For January 5th...

1988 (5th-8th): A major winter storm that seriously hampered travel in the TX Panhandle also ravaged the South Plains.
Beginning on the morning of the 5th, freezing drizzle slickened roads and sidewalks so seriously that driving and simply walking became extremely hazardous tasks. More than 60 motor vehicle wrecks were reported in Lubbock during the morning rush hour of the 5th; three of which included school buses. Fortunately, no serious injuries resulted. In the three days that followed, snow accumulated to depths as great as seven inches in Paducah, with four inches at Spur and three at Brownfield. |
