Winter Storm — Texas, Oklahoma

2026-01-09 · Texas, Oklahoma

Event narrative

The southeastern third of the county received less than an inch of snow while the northwestern two thirds received three to five inches of snow, perhaps higher amounts occurred near the Kansas state line. Texhoma measured four inches of snow, Guymon and Goodwell observed three inches, and 7 miles north of Eva observed five inches.

Wider weather episode

An upper level system skirted across the northern combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles early on January 9th and brought rain with a changeover to snow. The heaviest snow produced by this system occurred in Kansas but did bring around three to six inches to eastern Cimarron County and western Texas County. Further south, across the far northwestern Texas Panhandle, areas still received one to two inches of snow from this system. This weather system was located far enough north that the rest of the Texas Panhandle was left dry.
