Local Weather History For February 26th...

1984: Near blizzard-like conditions developed in the southern TX Panhandle and adjacent South Plains for part of this day
with snow amounts as much as eight inches measured from near Tulia northeast to Pampa. Frequent wind gusts to 60 mph
caused severe drifting, closed roads and stranded hundreds of motorists. About 400 vehicles were disabled by the snow from
south of Tulia to northeast of Pampa. The winds also caused numerous power outages with many cities being left without
electricity for several hours. The cities of Amarillo and Lubbock lost power as well and this prevented radio and TV
stations from broadcasting vital weather information. Although thousands of homes went without heat for several hours,
there were fortunately no known injuries or fatalities directly attributable to the weather.
