Wacky Weather: Snow in Texas

Dallas, Texas had it's first snow of the season, picking up 0.1" of snow on Monday, December 10th. Just north of Dallas, Wichita Falls which is pictured below had a heavier band of snow pass through and received about an inch and a half of snow. However, most of this snow did melt as temperature reached the lower to mid 40's across northern Texas.

The most interesting part about this story is that Dallas had it's first snowfall of the season before Chicago. That's right Chicago has not seen snow for 281 days. Chicago usually gets it first snowfall around November 16th. Its latest first snowfall occurred on December 16th, 1965. So it is possible we could see some more record breaking weather before 2012 closes out.
