A strong upper level system moved through the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles starting on the 21st and ending on the 22nd. This system brought precipitation in the form of rain and snow, and high winds. Winds were anywhere from 20 to 45 mph sustained, with gusts up to 64 mph. The night of the 21st, temperatures dropped to around 30 to 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Many areas stayed just above freezing with snow being very wet and heavy, which made it hard to be blown around by the wind but the snow stuck in tree branches and power lines leading to some damage and power outages mainly along portions of I-40 and along Highway 60 from Amarillo northeastward. There was a small corridor just south of the Canadian River Valley where 6 to 9 inches of snow fell by the morning of the 22nd.
