| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A snowstorm that sputtered much of its three day life eventually dumped heavy snow in a band from Kermit, through Andrews, and to Lamesa. Numerous traffic accidents were reported during the three days in these counties and surrounding counties with lesser amounts of snow. There were four fatal accidents during the inclement weather--each with one fatality. Three of the deaths were on the 7th and one on the 8th. The deaths will not be recorded in the statistics, since the weather was only considered partly to blame. The culprit of the snow was an upper level storm system that parked itself over Baja California. The heaviest snow fell on the evening of the 7th, after frustrating forecasters for two days with lack of snowfall. Adjacent areas of New Mexico had heavy snows as well.Heaviest Snows :Andrews 7.5"Lamesa 6.0"Seminole 5.5" |
