1/28/2010 Winter Storm Update - 4 PM (22Z)

Snow continues with 3-4" accumulation here. 20F air temperature.

Despite the brief respite courtesy of a rather prominent dry slot, a new area of moderate to heavy snows blossomed between Lubbock and Hobbs, NM. In addition the drys lot area is starting ti fill in again with increasing precip as well. This trend should continue into tonight as the main upper system approaches. It will be fun to watch how heavy it gets and if we can bust the 10" mark in Amarillo.
