| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong upper level storm system interacted with copious amounts of Gulf and Pacific moisture to produce a heavy snow event across portions of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. This storm system moved from west to east across the area with snowfall amounts up to 11 inches in southern Lea County. The closest official recording station at Midland International Airport, Texas set new records for the greatest daily snowfall, the greatest single event snowfall, and the greatest monthly amount with the total of 9.75". Numerous traffic accidents were reported on icy roads with a few injuries. The heavy snowfall also resulted in loss of power for some communities. |
