Yeah we got 13 inches in one storm in Amarillo Texas last week. Set the record for most snow from one storm in that city. So yeah, conditions are ripe. Exactly what you would expect at the tail end of a weak solar maximum in the middle of a cooling trend. Some solar energy, in the form of evaporated water, combining with a cold front. Short term energy plus long term cooling equals bang, record snow.
I was born in the Panhandle, about 30 miles from Amarillo, and lived there until I was 16. I seem to remember more than a few crippling blizzards striking the area. Locals used to complain that the only thing between the Panhandle and the Artic Circle was a barbed wire fence or two.
It even snowed down in central Mexico. Check it out here.
