Well, we’ve been waiting for it, and it appears that winter is finally rearing it’s head here in Amarillo and the entire Texas Panhandle. We’ve had some teases over the last couple of weeks with colder weather and promises of snow, and one of those days, we actually got a bit of snow.

Friday appears to be the beginning of it, where we will see a balmy high of 31 degrees. PM snow showers are in the forecast, and they won’t be ending for a while. Overnight, the temperatures will plummet to an overnight low of one degree…yes, ONE degree. Snow accumulation overnight is expected to be between 3 and 5 inches.
The fun continues Saturday when we have an expected high of 9 degrees. Snow accumulation? Another potential 3 to 5 inches. Yes, we are looking at a little winter wonderland coming our way, not to mention the frigid temperatures that are coming with it.
