The next winter storm is tearing up the Texas panhandle and the Oklahoma panhandle right now. There is an upper level low and the area behind it is getting hit with enormous amounts of snow and the winds are at the blizzard conditions.

The wind map is a good resource to use for this as you can see the cyclone and the occluded front as the cold front overtakes the warm front. There is a distinctive spiraling action.

You can also see the storm clearly on the surface map. The white area is where the snow and blizzard is occurring, while the areas ahead of the low are experiencing rain which will soon turn into a mix of rain and snow.
