Moisture streamed in from the southwest as an upper level storm system approached southeastern New Mexico and west Texas and combined with an Arctic airmass to produce freezing rain and freezing fog across much of the area.
The combination of these two phenomena resulted in a thin coating of ice over many exposed surfaces, including area roadways, bridges, and overpasses, as well as reduced visibilities down to one quarter of a mile at times. The icy roads and the lack of any significant winter weather in the previous winter season contributed to numerous accidents, especially along Interstate 20 in west Texas. Interstate 20 was closed in Ector County and both east and west of Colorado City in Mitchell County. Numerous other roads were closed throughout the warning area, some due to the ice, and others due to accidents resulting from the slick roads.
Ice accumulated on power lines and tree branches resulted in power outages throughout much of west Texas. Ice accumulations ranged from one tenth of an inch to three-sixteenths of an inch across the area.
