Winter Weather in Bowie, Texas

A strong surge of Arctic air invaded Northeast Texas during early January with bitterly cold temperatures and a mix of sleet, snow and ice accumulations that began during the early morning hours of January 9th and continued into January 10th. Overall, total sleet amounts ranged from around one tenth to one half inch while snow accumulations were very isolated around one half inch.
