Local Weather History For November 12th...

1976 (12th-13th): After a historic early snowstorm in late October 1976, another snowstorm impacted much of West Texas
from 9:00 AM on the 12th through 11 PM on the 13th. The snow fell in a large arc from El Paso through the South Plains and
into the east-central Texas Panhandle. During this period, Lubbock recorded 5.4 inches of snow with amounts as high as
10.5 inches falling between Lubbock and El Paso. In Crosby and Floyd Counties, up to 7.0 inches fell. Hard-packed snow and
ice made roads and highways treacherous throughout the region. A woman was killed and four others seriously injured in a
two-car collision near Seagraves. Numerous minor traffic accidents occurred. Most Friday night football games were
cancelled outright or postponed as roads were reported slick as glass. Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma bus lines out of
Lubbock were forced to cancel service Friday night with many residual delays on Saturday. Total economic impacts were
undetermined.
