Weird to say “It’s that time of year again,” but, it’s the unfortunate reality we face living in Texas with our well known ‘bipolar weather’. Last year we faced one of the toughest winter freezes in North Texas history, so this year we’ve got to be more prepared!
Expect below freezing temps in the teens plus a chance of sleet/snow. Meteorologists predict snow could possibly be up to two inches and ice three-tenths of an inch-which will make it difficult too drive in case of emergencies.
Luckily, the DFW is championing together to keep us from freezing. Find your city or the closest neighborhood to stay warm below!
