A potent winter weather system brought widespread snow across the Texas Panhandle on Dec 21st.  A southward digging upper level trough dove into northern Mexico during the late night hours of the 20th. As the trough began to move northeastward out of Mexico and into Texas during the early morning hours of the 21st, light freezing drizzle and snow began to fall across the Texas Panhandle. As the morning hours progressed, freezing rain transitioned to all snow across the Panhandle. By the afternoon hours, the upper level trough progressed eastward sufficiently to remove the broad scale lift and brought an end to precipitation.
The following is a range of snow totals by each county: 3 to 5 inches across Hutchinson County; 2 to 4 inches across Roberts County; 2 to 3 inches across Hemphill County; 2 to 4 inches across Carson County; 2 to 4 inches across Gray County; 1 to 2 inches across Wheeler County; 1 to 2 inches across Armstrong County; 1 to 2 inches across Donley County;2 to 3 inches across Potter County; 1 to 2 inches across Randall County; 2 to 5 inches across Dallam County; and 3 to 5 inches across Oldham County.
