An embedded shortwave trough moved across northwest Texas on the 4th and placed the Texas Panhandle on the northwest portion of this weather system. This quadrant of a weather system is favorable for the development of snow bands which can cause localized enhanced snow production. Some such snow bands developed across the northeastern Texas Panhandle creating a gradient of 1 to 2 inches of snow across the southwestern Panhandle to 5 to 6 inches across the northeastern Panhandle.  This snow caused numerous vehicle accidents with over 100 being reported in the Amarillo metro area alone, but no serious injuries were reported. The snow ended by the afternoon hours of the 4th as the upper level shortwave moved northeastward into central Oklahoma.
The following is a list of snow reports:  1 inch at Dalhart (Dallam and Hartley County), 1 inch at Stratford (Sherman County), 1.5 inches at Spearman (Hansford County), 5 inches at Perryton (Ochiltree County), 2 inches at Dumas (Moore County), 1 inch at Sanford (Hutchinson County); 3 inches at Miami (Roberts County); 5.5 inches at Canadian (Hemphill County); 2 inches at Panhandle (Carson County); 3.2 inches at Pampa (Gray County); 2 inches at Wheeler (Wheeler County); 3 inches at Claude (Armstrong County); 1.5 inches at Clarendon (Donley County); 3 inches at Wellington (Collingsworth County); 1.3 inches at Amarillo (Potter and Randall County); and 1.5 inches at Dawn (Deaf Smith County).
