'Whiteout': Four Inches of Snow Falls in Texas Panhandle

Parts of the Texas panhandle were covered in up to four inches of snow on October 24 as an early-season snowstorm brought blustery conditions, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.

In a video posted to Twitter by Teri C Green, large snowflakes can be seen falling in Borger, a town about 55 miles northeast of Amarillo, creating a wintery wonderland.

Green wrote in the post: “First Snow of the Win.. I mean Fall Season! Texas.”

The NWS said “heavy” snow was falling in Amarillo, with “near whiteout conditions.”

The Texas Department of Transportation’s Amarillo office urged people to drive with caution, and said some routes would be closed “while wrecks are cleared.” Credit: Teri C. Green via Storyful
