About 15 minutes of nickel to golf ball size hail (possible one or two slightly larger) followed by this wonderful site. It was worth it! Still need to assess the damage, but I don't think we lost any windows. #phwx #txwx @NWSAmarillo

About 4.4 inches of heavy, wet snow this morning. Probably already lost an inch due to melting and compaction. This is in addition to a few hours of light to moderate rain. Hopefully we will green up fast! #phwx #txwx #Amarillo

After taking a few more measurments around the neighborhood, will need to make a revision. 5.5 inches is probably more representative. @NWSAmarillo – at Amarillo, TX
