Winter Weather in Moore, Texas

Several auto accidents. Many were reported along U.S.HWY 287 north of Dumas. Freezing drizzle and very little snow.

Light drizzle and fog started just after midnight on the morning of 2/12. Roads were already pretreated for snow prospects and kept ice from forming until about 5 or 6 in the morning. It was at this time that a strong cold front came through and dropped temperatures to a point where the brine on the road would not work and a thin layer of ice between 0.01 and 0.02 was just enough to wreak havoc especially on travel and caused several accidents across the Texas Panhandle.
