Heard on TSN and through another poster that y'all (Lubbock in particular) were expecting record snowfall this weekend. Just curious of the totals.

big ol' crock of sheet....I have no idea how much snow we got, but it wasn't much. The roads were passable.

The whole thing got overblown.

We got a couple of inches of snow, and almost all of that came today from mid-morning to mid-afternoon..

It certainly had the makings of a huge snowstorm, but a pocket of air that was slightly above freezing settled over the South Plains area, in the lower levels of the atmosphere between the surface and the snow-laden clouds. The snow was falling from the sky, but it was all melting before it could get to the surface. Instead of a huge snowstorm, we got a day and a half solid of rain, freezing rain, and sleet before today's snow.

It turned out to be overblown, but I think unexpected atmospheric factors caused that more than incompetent meteorology.

Oslo got maybe 7 inches or so.

My oldest brother just got back from driving to Guymon, Oklahoma and back. From Oslo, that's about 20 miles.

The ice on the road is really rough. It took him about 55 minutes to get there driving at speeds of from 3 to 15 miles per hour.

He said he doesn't ever want to drive over a road like that again.

Dang, that's bad stuff. I wouldn't want to be driving on that either.

The temperature got into the upper 30s today, so the roads are perfectly clear here in Lubbock.

Amarillo got about 9 when it was all said and done.

Love the snowman. Canyon had between 8 and 9 inches which was more than they thought we would get.

clarendon got 7". lots of pipe sold today.

Lekner.

How are the roads around Clarendon. I have to come through on 287 going to Amarillo.

Any idea how the roads will be on Wed?

287 was all right - don't know how things are north of ashtola though. watch the curve going into claude; that's bad even when it's dry.
