On the heels of an upper low that brought some light snow early this morning to areas such as Denver City (Yoakum County) and Brownfield (Terry County), north winds of 40 to 50 with frequent gusts over 60 mph gripped much of the region for up to ten hours in some locales.  Several dozen reports of downed trees, fallen power poles and minor structural damage were received, particularly in the Lubbock area.  These cold north winds also generated widespread blowing dust to a few miles visibility, mainly from the southern Panhandle into the northern South Plains which was coincident with a lack of snowfall and wet soil from the prior week's significant snowstorm.
