Snow threatens Permian Basin with first winter storm
The National Weather Service in Midland says the first snowfall of the season could reach the Permian Basin tonight and Friday as a winter storm moves from New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle. Snow is expected to rise late today with 2-4 inch accumulations forecast in the Panhandle and Southwest Texas, while freezing drizzle spreads across the South Plains to the Red River Valley. Temperatures vary widely from near 20 in the Panhandle to the upper 80s in Deep South Texas, with ice on overpasses prompting salt crews in Amarillo and travel advisories posted for the region. Donald Alan Stewart of 507 Crockett and Kelly Jane Cottingham of 1723 North Washington are named as Young Texan and Young Tex-Anne for November, with NHS honors and athletic involvement noted.

Inflation, energy prices spark debate on policy and shortages
At a congressional hearing, Kahn warned that energy price controls delay the relief of inflation as he urged a federal study to clarify a possible shortage. Adams blamed oil companies for price gaps while Shell and Amoco reported shortages of high octane unleaded gasoline amid a broader inflation push. The Carter administration collected pledges from cities to curb inflation, while state legislatures face pay increases seen as inflationary. A separate court case discussed asset transfers and bonds, and a local civic luncheon featured a living proof advertising campaign. A small storage shed fire behind a residence prompted Odessa firefighters to respond.
