| episode_narrative | A cold arctic air mass that spread into North Texas on the 1st was overriden by warm, moist air as a strong upper level disturbance approached from New Mexico. Rain, freezing rain and sleet developed over the area. As the cold air deepened, all the precipitation turned to snow. By midday on the 2nd, the entire North Texas area had received a coating of ice and much of the region additionally received 1 to 3 inches of snow. Thousands of automobile accidents resulted in numerous indirect injuries and several indirect deaths. The unusual winter weather continued on the 3rd through the 5th as temperatures fell to record levels across the region on the 3rd and 4th. At 1000 am on the 5th, the temperature at the DFW airport climbed to 35 degrees, the first time above freezing temperatures were observed in 136 consecutive hours (this was the second longest sub-freezing period in history). |
