Record snows pile up in North Texas
Posted: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:36 PM - 8,654 Readers
By: Jim Spencer
Snow continued to pile up late Thursday night across nearly all of
North Texas, after an historic snowstorm buried the Dallas-Fort Worth
metroplex under 10 inches to a foot of snow.
Snow fell all day
at DFW airport, resulting in nearly 10 inches—the most snow ever
recorded there in a calendar day. It was the 2nd highest 24 hour snow
total, surpassed only by a 1964 winter storm that produced 12 inches.
It’s now the snowiest winter in Dallas in 32 years, and the 4th
snowiest in history.
Incredible snow totals covered a vast area.
Six to eight inches of snow were reported in Wichita Falls,
Gainesville, Sherman/Denison, and Paris. A foot of snow fell just north
of Denton.
North Texas wasn’t alone. Five to nine inches were reported across southern Oklahoma to the Arkansas border.
All travel in the area was discouraged, as treacherous driving conditions are expected through Friday morning.
