LocoAko Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Still haven't changed over here in Norman and the radar is beginning to look frail to say the least. I had my doubts about the 3-5" advertised here but I at least thought we'd see at least a flake or three... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Here are some brief clips of the conditions I encountered in El Reno. Nothing like further west or into TX but visibilities were quite low and winds were gusting over 40mph at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Reimer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Its been a busy day in Woodward. Roads are impassable even to large trucks. We have at least 16 inches of snow with snow drifts up to five feet tall. That is all from three hours ago! Since then, winds have increased and snow continues. Needless to say, I'm trapped at the Hampton Inn in town. Power's been flickering all night, but so far outages have remained brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCMet Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Am I getting this right? KICT reports 0.30" of liquid equivalent since this storm began, yet their manual obs just reported 6.4" of snow. That means snow ratios are in excess of 20:1? http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KICT.html Can this be? Storm-total snow ratio forecasts for Wichita were 12-15:1 if I remember correctly...

JoMo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The snow is tapering off here. Picked up around 4" it looks like. Very heavy wet snow that has stuck to everything. My little redbud that ended up laying on the ground after the tornado broke it's ties and is on the ground again. Experienced 3 different rounds of thundersnow which is always fun.

Srain Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 February 25, 2013 Blizzard A historic blizzard struck the Panhandles during the early morning hours of Monday, February 25 and continued through the afternoon hours. A very intense upper-level disturbance produced a band of heavy snow that set up over the central Panhandles from roughly Amarillo to Borger to Perryton during the early morning hours on Monday. Within this band of snow, snowfall rates approached 2-3 inches per hour, thundersnow was observed, and extreme blizzard conditions were observed. As this band moved west and east during the morning hours, many locations from Hereford to Beaver received more than 10 inches of snow. The heavy snow and strong winds resulted in visibilities less than 50 feet at times for many of these locations. As a result, this virtually crippled the entire area and made travel almost impossible. In fact, all roads in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles were closed, including Interstate 40 from the New Mexico border to the Oklahoma border and Interstate 27 from Amarillo to Lubbock. Conditions were so severe that Texas Department of Transportation crews were not able to work to keep the roads plowed. Rick Husband International Airport in Amarillo was shut down for most of the day. 19 inches of snow accumualted at NWS Amarillo along with a peak wind gust of 75 mph late Monday morning. A peak wind gust of 77 mph was also recorded at the Pantex Nuclear facility. Unfortunately, many motorists were also stranded *This was the 3rd largest snowfall event at Amarillo -- only behind March 25-26, 1934 (20.6 inches) and December 26-27, 2000 (20.2 inches)*This was the 2nd largest snowfall for a calendar day -- only behind March 25, 1934 (19.3 inches)*This was the largest snowfall for a single day in the month of February. The previous record was 12 inches on February 16, 1893 http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ama/?n=feb25blizzard 5.5 foot snow drift at NWS Amarillo. Cars stranded on Hillside Road in Amarillo.

Jonbo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I see a common trend on the Hillside Rd picture, trucks and SUV's who obviously thought they could maneuver the snow because of their vehicle. Also a good chuckle seeing a Hummer stuck for good measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonbo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well, certaintly an eventful day in my area. Went from nothing to WWA and now WSW. About 3-5" in the DSM metro area and more expected between now and Wednesday (5-9" total expected). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
