Karen,
As of 10:30 central we have very heavy snow bands along I-40 from Amarillo east to Shamrock with winds of 15-20mph so you should drive into at times almost whiteout conditions coming into the panhandle. Radar shows good snow still from central NM all the way to the Oklahmo border. some of it may actually be convective snow since clovis radar is in precip mode and not clear air. make sure you have your SUV and a jar of beatnut butter in case you get stuck :lol:
The snow that is falling now is large wet snowflakes. I-40 east is still open.
You may not be able to see much but here is a tower cam from downtown.

Thanks! Getting ready to leave at 12. Can you suggest any decent non-chain places to eat in Amarillo for dinner??
