Well, the morning started foggy and cold again, but by late morning, the melting had started in Lubbock. That is the thing about snow and ice in Lubbock: when it melts, it usually melts with a vengeance: everything warms up, and the snow melts, there is no place for the water to go, so we have some minor street flooding. Ice melts and comes crashing down from lights, branches, roofs, and what have you, sometimes causing more damage with the crash than with the weight of the snow and ice.
Usually, it does not all melt in one day, and refreezes overnight, with the possibility it will continue to disappear. We may get some snow tomorrow, but now we have wonderful sunshine.
That is one of the things that amazes me about the weather in West Texas. The other thing is how quickly things dry out after a rain, even a heavy rain. Usually, but the next day, all traces of rain are gone, except maybe, debris.
