The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is reporting that the Panhandle and portions of Northwest Texas were blasted early last week with an unprecedented blizzard that delivered 75 mph wind gusts and as much as 20 inches of snow, closing roadways throughout the area.
Tall snow drifts cut visibility to almost nothing and made highways impassable. As the wind dropped and snow lightened, TxDOT crews from around the state moved in with snowplows to help their fellow workers in the Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene, Wichita Falls and Childress districts clear the snow-packed roadways for motorists.
In Texas?!
