2/11/10 Winter Storm...

My "Storm Chaser" sticker was buried under

3 inches of ice/snow on my car this morning.

Another winter storm came through North TX and southern OK today. While it wasn't as bad as some of the other places in the US (Virginia with 24in!)it was still significant for our area. We had freezing to near freezing temperatures the whole day and we ended up with 6.25" of snow in Wichita Falls. Here are some of the captures.

Enjoy!

Norman NWS Hazardous Weather Outlook for

Wichita Falls. Note how we are right on the edge of the 8" line.

NWS issues a Winter Storm Warning for most of Northern, TX and Southern, OK

Mesoscale Discussion issued for northern, TX. You can see the freezing line (32 degrees isotherm) is resting just to the south of Wichita Co.

This radar grab shows bands of snow. It was taken at 8:45 on my way to work.

Some snow in my front yard, taken right before I head off for work.

Now I am at work and we are slow, so I decide to go out and take more pictures of this winter weather. This is a landscaping business by our store.

After work I decide to see what Middle Lake looks like. This light was fading fast and I was not able to stay longer.

A nice frosty patch of snow that hasn't been touched!

Preliminary snowfall reports as of 9 pm. Wichita Falls get 6.25" and Clay Co received 7"!
