What happened
The episode as NWS SJT wrote it up.
A winter storm dumped heavy amounts of snow across the central and western sections of West Central Texas during the late night hours of the 7th and morning hours of the 8th. Amounts of 4 to 6 inches were common west of an Eldorado to San Angelo to Abilene to Haskell line, with higher amounts across Nolan and Fisher counties. A report of 10 inches was recieved just southeast of Sweetwater, with 7 inches reported in Sweetwater and 8 inches in Sylvester. Since many trees still had all of their leaves, the heavy snowfall caused many branches to break. The heavy snow and falling tree branches caused power lines to snap, with about ten thousand customers suffering some disruption of electricity during the storm.
