Sudden Blast of Snow

Even though snow in the Texas Panhandle isn't super rare, storms like this that come so fast and strong don't happen often. Weather experts say these storms form when really cold air from the north meets warmer air from the south, creating a sudden blast of snow and strong winds.

Drivers Be Careful

Officials have warned drivers to be careful because roads can get slippery and hard to see very quickly. The snow can make it almost impossible to see where you're going.
