Ice Storm November 22, 2013 – November 24, 2013 · Van Horn & Hwy 54 Corridor, Texas
What the National Weather Service wrote
The Culberson County S.O. reported over 1/4 inch of ice accumulation. Portions of Highway 90 south of Van Horn closed due to icing. Power went out around 4 am CST on 11/24 due to power lines down from icing. The Rio Grande Electric Power Co. reported many power poles down in Culberson County. The weight of the ice dragged the lines down, which then had a domino effect on the power poles.
The wider storm
An arctic airmass moved into the region with well below normal temperatures in it's wake. An upper trough was situated over the western Conus, and stayed there for several days. An extended period of wintry precipitation resulted over West Texas.
