A deepening surface low, a frigid arctic front, and a digging upper level jet stream interacted with gulf moisture to produce a variety of weather like thunder snow, thunder sleet, freezing rain, pea size hail, and locally heavy rainfall across a large part of West Central Texas.

Roads were very hazardous for several days and made it difficult for travel between February 1 and the 4th.  The high winds also produced near whiteout conditions during the early morning hours.
