2015 (26th-28th): Behind a sharp cold front that ignited a few strong thunderstorms late in the afternoon on Thanksgiving
Day, freezing rain and freezing drizzle developed from late in the evening while continuing on and off through Saturday the 28th. The brunt of the ice fell on Black Friday which dealt a heavy blow to area merchants expecting strong holiday sales. The worst ice accumulations of 1/2" to 1" fell in a swath from just east of Crosbyton northeast to Matador, Paducah and Childress. This ice was aided by elevated thunderstorms with heavy icing rates on the evening of the 27th. Thousands of residents in Motlecy, Dickens, Cottle, and Childress Counties were without power for up to three days due to about 100 miles of failed utility lines and 90 fallen power poles. Scores of vehicle accidents, mostly minor, were common especially on Lubbock overpasses where around 1/4" of ice accumulated. |
