| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Cold arctic air settled over west central Texas on the 11th. Warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico moved northwest above the frigid air on the night of the 11th. This combination produced snow, sleet, temperatures in the teens, and wind chills to 15 below over the area on the 12th, 13th, and morning of the 14th.Two to three inches of snow fell over most of the northwest Hill Country and the southern Heartland. This was followed by about one inch of sleet on top of the snow. The sleet and snow formed a thick ice cover on roads and highways which caused many wrecks. On the afternoon of the 13th, Interstate 10 was closed for 200 miles from Junction to Fort Stockton and not reopened until the next day. |
