We had 11 inches a couple of years ago, and several last year, February I believe it was and both times were highly unusual for this area. Native Texans just aren't accustomed to harsh winter weather. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30731636 It was warm the day before and all of the weather men were saying that the bad weather would be confined to the panhandle. We woke up to 2 feet of snow on the ground ! You wonder if you should take what they say and then count on the opposite . . . lol |

February 11, 2010 was the snowiest day on record in Dallas, Texas. According to the WFAA.com website the Dallas/Fort Worth airport received a record 11.2 inches of snow, which shattered the previous record of 7.8 inches on January 14, 1917 and again on January 15, 1964. |

I was just going by what I saw gathering around. Perhaps it was deeper in places due to drifts or something. That is the storm I was referring to, however. Freaking crazy couple of days.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 30746386 United States 12/24/2012 04:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Snow is still possible on Christmas Day in North Texas, but totals are trending a little lower as of the latest update on Sunday night. This should not be a surprise, but part of the process of forecasting an evolving storm. This will probably happen another time or two before the storm gets here. Here's the latest: Temperatures will be cold enough by Christmas afternoon for rain to transition to snow. We'll see periods of moderate snow along the Red River. These counties could receive a total snowfall accumulation of 1 to 2 inches, with some higher snow totals near Lamar and Red River counties. South of these counties — which includes the Dallas-Fort Worth area — snowfall totals will be light. A dusting or a covering is expected, with some isolated higher amounts, and some areas with no accumulation. Remember: This system is still evolving, and the track, intensity and available moisture is still not certain. [link to www.wfaa.com] |
