AMARILLO, Texas — Winter has arrived in Texas, at least in the Panhandle.
While we've had a cold, wet week in North Texas, we haven't seen anything in the way of snow or wintry precipitation.
That's a different story in the Panhandle, about 375 miles northwest of Dallas.
A winter storm hit the Amarillo area Thursday, bringing bands of moderate snowfall into Friday morning. Another round of possible snow could hit the Panhandle on Monday, according to KVII's latest forecast.
Videos posted on social media showed what appeared to be decently heavy snowfall in Amarillo on Thursday.
The National Weather Service in Amarillo was reporting 1-2 inches of snowfall in the area, as snow was still coming down Thursday night. The Weather Service was forecasting up to six inches of snow for areas in the far northern Panhandle, and into Oklahoma.
Love the snow or hate it, you won't have to worry about it in North Texas, at least not on the current forecast.
