This is an update to an article originally published here. Believe it or not, Dallas-Fort Worth has never had a snowless winter, at least not since records have been kept dating back to 1898. Some of you are probably skeptical of this fact, with good reason. It seems like there have been many winters where no measurable snow fell. The keyword is MEASURABLE snow. Measurable snow is defined as anything greater than a trace. A trace of snow occurs anytime snow or sleet is observed, even if it is only a brief period. A trace will not produce a whitening of the ground. In some years, it’s entirely possible that while the DFW weather observation site may have had a trace of snow, other locations did not have anything. So yes, it is possible that locations in and around the DFW area have been snowless. It’s just never happened at the official DFW weather observation site. Since 1898, DFW has had 33 winters that produced only a trace of snow. There have been 24 winters that produced measurable snow of less than 1 inch. There were 14 winters that had anywhere from 1 inch to 1.9 inches of snow. There were 20 winters produced between 4 and 10 inches of snow. Only five years have produced more than 10 inches of snow, the highest total being 17.6 inches in the winter of 1977-78. As of Jan 9, 2025, there have now been 31 winters that had between 2 to 4 inches of snow. On Thursday, DFW Airport recorded 2.6 inches of snow. Snowfall stats from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport for Jan. 9, 2025. So despite the many winters with no measurable snow, there still has been at least a trace of snow reported in DFW every winter since 1898. weather 5 hours ago Live Updates: Brief warm-up before re-freeze tonight; Roads slushy, slippery [email protected] Jan 9 North Texans share photos of the first snow of 2025 [email protected] 22 hours ago Snow day!
