Spoke with friends earlier who live out by Lake Lewisville. Said there was a truck that lost control and went into the lake last night. (story below)
To all those living out there, stay safe & at home if possible. Driving on snow is not the same as driving on ice.
Truck plunges into Lake Lewisville
Folks up here take all this with a grain of salt.

This morning we were told of a potential of -50 so glad that has been reduced - with wind chill - yet they didn't close the schools or any businesses. When there is ice - we drive super slow if it's not already covered with sand or salt. They don't close roads though.
Today - I thought it was irresponsible to not at least close schools. Kids wait at bus stops and it was reported some ran back home because they felt pain (I imagine on exposed parts of their body).
Best wishes to you there.

From Dallas Police:
Northbound 75 Central Expressway is shut down at LBJ Fwy
The best-known section is the North Central Expressway, a name for a freeway section of U.S. Highway 75 between downtown Dallas and McKinney, Texas.

And I think a second round is supposed to be on the way overnight and into tomorrow.
I know we're supposed to get a little snow out of this one tomorrow.

Fort Worth police say they plan to shut down ALL freeways in the city starting at 6 a.m. Sunday to clear accumulated ice.
Areas of fog will develop around North Texas tonight and since temperatures are below freezing, a Freezing Fog Advisory has been issued until 9 a.m. Sunday. The visibility in Dallas has just dropped to 2 miles and as visibilities continue to drop, the fog may deposit a thin layer of new ice onto roads and bridges tonight. Just another reason not to travel through Sunday morning unless absolutely necessary. -aa
