A historic blizzard, on pace to become the second-snowiest event recorded in Amarillo, made travel nearly impossible Monday and left some motorists stranded as emergency crews struggled to reach them, the National Weather Service in Amarillo said.

Nineteen inches of snow has fallen in Amarillo.

Wind gusts averaged between 50 and 60 mph, with hurricane-force gusts of 75 mph recorded at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport, the weather service said.

Conditions won't improve until the storm passes, and the weather service has extended a blizzard warning until 3 a.m. Tuesday.
