Snow fell yesterday, Oct. 24, 2019, along the northwestern edge of New Mexico, across the Texas Panhandle and into Woodward, Oklahoma. The weather this growing season continues to make headlines as growers across this region still have corn, cotton, sorghum and other crops in the fields waiting to be harvested.
On Oct. 23, 2019, the National Weather Service, Amarillo, tweeted: "Tricky forecast coming up for the panhandles, October snow (or not) is usually an interesting forecast. Accumulating snow in the month of October has only occurred 7 times since 1950 in #Amarillo. Last time it occurred was in 2011." The NWS reported today that they received 5.5 inches of snow yesterday.
