North Texas is experiencing below-freezing temperatures and a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain as a cold front moves across much of the state. Have a photo to share? Email yours along with your name and location of the photo to digitalnews@kera.org.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch for North Texas and other regions of the state ahead of bitter cold and a chance of sleet, snow and ice late Wednesday through Friday.

Temperatures plummeted into the low-20s overnight Wednesday, and they'll remain in the teens and 20s throughout Thursday and Friday. Total snow and sleet accumulations are up to 3 inches, as well as wind gusts up to 35 mph.

The storm won’t be as cold or last as long as last year’s deadly freeze, when temperatures dropped below zero and left thousands of homes without heat for days. Nearly 250 people died across Texas during the 2021 storm.

Take a look at some of the submitted photographs of the storm from across North Texas:
