Texas Norther Brings Snow and Bitter Cold Across State
A powerful norther swept Texas bringing snow and frigid conditions from the Panhandle to south Texas. By Tuesday night most areas felt the chill with subfreezing readings into the lower Rio Grande Valley. Vernon to Plainview reported two inches of snow by mid morning. Low temperatures forecast across the state ranged from zero to the 20s, with Amarillo at 14 and Vernon around 24. The storm grounded airplanes and disrupted travel as temperatures plummeted and wind driven snow reduced visibility. The lower Rio Grande Valley faced freezing forecasts for crops, while northeast Texas expected freezing rain turning to snow in some areas. The weather moved southward after a record warm Monday, with Brownsville early Tuesday at 67 and a high of 82 the previous day.

Civil Defense Plan Faces House and Senate Scrutiny
Lawmakers showed limited enthusiasm as a $3 billion national civilian defense plan was dropped in their laps. About three fourths of the funds would go to bomb shelters though the type remains undecided. States would provide about half the money with the federal government covering the rest. Hearings were set to begin in the House Armed Services Committee today and in the Senate panel tomorrow, with doubts the legislation would pass this session.
