All park roads in Big Bend National Park are impassable this morning, according to @BigBendNPS.

The 800,000-acre park received between 12-24 inches of snow last night, and it's continuing to fall. Officials are telling visitors to not attempt entering the park. #txwx

This morning, around 100 people are waiting for road conditions to clear so they can get on the roads to Presidio and Alpine. #txwx

Highways 67 and 90 were closed Wednesday night as a winter storm intensified, leaving roads icy and covered in snow. https://marfapublicradio.org/blog/west-texas-winter-storm-updates/

Since the pandemic began, monthly visitation to @BigBendNPS has reached all-time lows—zero in April, May and July when the park closed to the public—but has also seen record highs, 51,231 visitors in October and 62,515 in November.

This morning residents in the Big Bend region woke up to a blanket of snow. From Alpine and the Davis Mountains to the Marfa Plateau and the surrounding foothills, expect anywhere from 1 to 4 inches of snowfall over the next few hours. #txwx
