A winter storm produced widespread heavy snowfalls over the west Texas South Plains region during the early morning and day time hours of the 30th. Snow began to spread east over the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle and the western South Plains before midnight (CST) on the 29th. By mid morning on the 30th, wintry precipitation began to impact the entire South Plains region.
Snow accumulations up to seven inches occurred over the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northern South Plains, where drifts up to four feet deep were reported. Dangerous travel conditions in the winter weather contributed to a roll-over motor vehicle accident south of Levelland (Hockley County), where a vehicle slid off of U.S. Highway 385 and three persons were injured. Hazardous road conditions also greeted Lubbock (Lubbock County) motorists during the morning rush hour, when more than 120 accidents were reported. Auto collisions also were reported southeast of Lubbock along U.S. Highway 84.
Lesser accumulations, generally between one and four inches, occurred over the southern South Plains and the southern Rolling Plains. At least four accidents were reported in Yoakum County, however, where up to three inches of snow resulted in snow packed roadways.
A sheet of ice developed over the snow pack after sunset on the 30th. This again resulted in dangerous driving conditions, especially in the Lubbock area where more than sixty additional vehicle accidents were reported.
