1997-1937 | 1929-1924 | 1923-1919 | 1918-1915 | 1913-1906 | 1903-1879

• January 6-8, 1913 - A strong cold front January 5 brought freezing rain, sleet, and snow to many of the northern reporting stations the 6th-7th. There were 1-2 accumulations at Archer City, Dallas, Dublin, Graham, Granbury 5SW, Haskell, and Henrietta, and nearly an inch at Fort Worth and Weatherford. The coolest readings of the month (and winter) followed the 7th-8th, with the coldest temperatures over the snow cover
• December 15, 1911 - Between 2-6 inch of snow fell in a band from Graham to Bowie on December 15, 1911. Three inches of snow was reported at Archer City, two at Wichita Falls and Grapevine, and one at Weatherford. It is unclear if all the snow accumulated on the ground; these were the unmelted totals. Several other locations in west and north Texas reported trace amounts, including Abilene, Fort Worth, Dallas, and Sherman.
• February 16-19, 1910 - The last of three snow events the winter of 1909-1910 began with a strong cold front overnight February 15th-16th. At Fort Worth, temperatures dropped from 64 degrees at midnight (the 16th) to 25 degrees at 700 AM, and 20 degrees by noon, with a north wind 20-30 MPH. Light sleet and snow occurred briefly behind the front, but snow overnight the 16th-17th brought 4-6 inch accumulations over parts of the east and central sections of north Texas (including 6.5 inches at Jewett, 6.0 inches at Kaufman and Tyler, and 5.5 inches at Dallas and Waxahachie). The coldest temperatures of the month were generally the 17th-18th, with the colder readings over the snow cover (ranging from -1 degrees at Waxahachie, to 18 degrees at Weatherford, where little or no snow fell). At Fort Worth, the morning low of 11 degrees on the 17th was a record for the date. Temperatures warmed above freezing on the 19th.
• January 3-7, 1910 - The second of three snow events the winter of 1909-1910 began with a strong cold front on the 3rd. Freezing rain and sleet was reported at Fort Worth early on the 4th, but changed to rain as temperatures warmed above freezing after 700 AM. A secondary surge of cold air early on the 5th was accompanied by another round of sleet and snow all day on the 5th. At Fort Worth, sleet changed to snow around 900 AM, accumulating to five inches by 400 PM. The snow band was fairly narrow, extending from Dublin (3.5 inches) to Granbury (4.2 inches) to Weatherford (5.0 inches) to Grapevine (7.0 inches) to Bonham (8.0 inches). At Dallas and Waco, the precipitation fell mostly as sleet, with accumulations generally less than an inch. The coldest temperatures of the month followed the 6th and 7th.
• December 18-20, 1909 - This was the first of three snow events the winter of 1909-1910. The event began with a cold front December 17th, with sleet and snow the morning of the 18th (1-2 inch accumulations at Dallas and Fort Worth, and trace amounts at Waco). Snow occurred again overnight the 18th-19th, with an additional 1-2 inch accumulations at Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco. Between 4-6 inches of snow were reported at Albany, Graham, Henrietta, Bowie, Decatur, Gainesville, Greenville, and Sulphur Springs. Another band of 4-6 inch snow occurred from Mexia to Jewett to Crockett (although some of this may have melted as it fell). The far west, south central and rest of east central parts of north Texas, however received less than two inches.
• January 8th-9th/21st-23rd, 1906 - Sleet and snow fell with two winter weather events in January, 1906. The first event began after a cold front moved through north Texas on the 7th. At Fort Worth, three inches accumulated the morning of the 10th with an apparent warm frontal pattern, but the liquid equivalents elsewhere suggest that this was probably the maximum snow depth with the first event. The second event began with a strong cold front the morning of the 21st. Thunder and snow occurred at Fort Worth around midday on the 21st, but only slightly more than a trace accumulation was recorded. Liquid equivalents over the eastern portions of north Texas, however, were between 1-2 inches, suggesting that at a major portion of the snowfall totals in the east came with this event. Waco recorded an inch of snow the morning of the 22nd.
