• February 3-5, 1923 - Sleet and snow were reported at many stations the 3rd-5th, accumulating to 4-6 inches in a band from San Angelo to Eastland to Henrietta, and from Junction to Hewitt to Longview. Seven inches were reported at Eastland and Tyler 8S, and Paint Rock (Concho county, about 30 miles east of San Angelo) reported ten inches.
• January 21-22, 1923 - Generous rainfall fell with a cold front the 21st-22nd. Between 2-4 inches were common over the north central and northeast sections, and 4-8 inches fell from Sulphur Spring to Texarkana. Mount Pleasant reported 9.3 inches for this event. The end of the event saw sleet and snow fall over the north central and northeast sections, with 4-6 inches reported at Bowie, Bridgeport, Greenville, Bonham, Honey Grove, and Paris.
• January 19-25, 1922 - A cold front on the 18th produced spotty light frozen precipitation; at Fort Worth light freezing rain and sleet were reported briefly the morning of the 19th and 20th. More widespread freezing rain and sleet occurred the evening of the 23rd through the morning of the 25th at many northern stations (TCCS). At Fort Worth, ice accumulated to ½ inch, while at Dallas travel was described as "difficult" (obs record). Area-wide, precipitation totals were mostly between a half to one inch.
• January 12-13, 1921 - A cold front early on the 11^th brought sharply colder air to the area. A mixture of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow began on the 12^th as the cold air deepened, continuing through early on the 13^th. Sleet and snow accumulations between 2-4 inches were common north of an Abilene-Weatherford-Dallas-Clarksville line, with 4-8 inches reported from Graham to Vernon to Haskell (to Graham). Some of the amounts may represent the unmelted precipitation equivalent.
• January 21-22, 1920 - On the 21st-22nd, freezing rain and sleet followed a strong cold front that moved through the area the evening of the 20th, ending a five day spell of mild weather (highs in the 60s and 70s). The Dallas observation record noted: "Norther struck about 800 PM 20th and temperature fell from 71 (degrees) to 32 (degrees) by 1000 AM 21st. Rain froze after falling and covered trees, grass and telegraph and telephone wires with ice. The ice remained on the trees, etc. until late afternoon of the 22nd. Some traction wires broke between Sherman and Denison; all interurban and railroad traffic delayed by bad weather. No ice observed on the ground." At Fort Worth, precipitation was noted almost continuously from 700 AM on the 21st through late on the 23rd; freezing rain and sleet was noted from noon to 800 PM on the 21st, and from 100 PM to 500 PM on the 22nd. Ice was reported as a 1/4 to ½ inch thick. Light snow fell the morning of the 24th, but with only trace amounts.
• January 15th-16th, 1919 - A cold front early on the 14th set the stage for the snow event the 15th-16th. While temperatures only fell into the 30s, an overrunning pattern brought widespread precipitation the 15th-16th. There were widespread 1-2 inch amounts over all but the northwest sections of north Texas. Over the west and southwest areas, much of the precipitation fell as snow, with 10-20 inches occurring from San Angelo and Junction northeast as far as Cleburne. Dublin and Stephenville reported 18 inch accumulations, while Hamilton reported 22 inches. Little or no snow was reported over the northern, eastern, or south central sections of north Texas.
