2007 (19th-20th): A strong upper level storm system with an abundant moisture supply brought a combination of winter
weather to the region between Friday morning (January 19th, 2007), and Saturday evening (January 20th, 2007). The majority of the precipitation across the southwest Texas Panhandle and northwest South Plains fell as snow. Farther south and east, where temperatures aloft were slightly warmer, many experienced a combination of freezing rain, sleet and snow, before changing over to all snow by early Saturday. In additional to the snowfall, locations across the central and southern South Plains and much of the Rolling Plains received considerable amounts of ice (1/4 inch plus). Even farther to the southeast, across the southern Rolling Plains, slightly warmer temperatures limited most of the precipitation to rain and freezing rain, with little in the way of snow. Although the extended period of rain, freezing rain and sleet limited the snowfall totals in many locations from the central South Plains south and east, the storm did result in widespread liquid water equivalent precipitation totals at or above one inch. Interestingly, this storm system was dubbed by some Lubbock residents as the "United Storm", due to NWS forecasts several days in advance cautioning up to 14 inches of snow in the city. These specific and record snowfall forecasts caused many residents to panic and stock up on grocery supplies, most notably from United Markets food stores where some shelves were emptied. The reality is that computer models and human forecasts are rarely accurate with the track of winter storms more than 60 hours in advance. In the end |
