Local Weather History For January 8th...

1973: A severe snow and ice storm spread south across the Panhandle and South Plains this day before impacting the entire
Lone Star State through the 11th! Snow flakes were observed as far south as Corpus Christi. Galveston and the upper Texas
coast experienced their first measurable snow in 13 years, generally measuring up to four inches. This storm was crippling
as it ground much of the state to a standstill due to snow, thick ice accumulations, power outages, bitter cold, and fuel
shortages. In Lubbock, freezing temperatures were recorded for a whopping 157 consecutive hours resulting in damage to
water pipes and automobile radiators. Total economic damages were never calculated; however, cattle losses alone
throughout Texas exceeded $50M.
