Local Weather History For November 16th...

1980: After a strong cold front invaded West Texas on the 14th, an upper level storm system approached the region from the
southwest resulting in an extended period of heavy snow stretching all the way from Southwest Texas northeast into the South Plains and Texas Panhandle. By the time the snow cleared late on the 16th, generally between 8 and 11 inches of snow had fallen on the South Plains with up to 15 inches recorded in the Davis Mountains in Southwest Texas. Most roadways on the South Plains were closed due to drifts up to 4 feet at times and poor visibilities. Many of these roads were cleared by midday on the 17th. Surprisingly, no serious injuries or deaths were directly attributable to this widespread snowstorm. Total economic losses could not even be estimated due to the extent of the storm, but up to 500 vehicles became immobilized on the South Plains with approximately 600 stuck in the Panhandle. |
