The episode as NWS SJT wrote it up.
During the overnight into the morning of January 11, snow fell across the Big Country, mainly the region along and north of Interstate 20. This area saw about 1 to 3 inches. As temperatures fell behind a cold front, an upper level low tracking across the area brought this blanket of snow. There were not any major problems reported on area roads because temperatures were near freezing.
