Snow flurries will continue across parts of North Texas for a few more hours. Areas downwind of lakes are picking up a light dusting due to lake-effect snow enhancement! ❄️ pic.twitter.com/CTQAoe4Ot8
Most North Texas school districts are opening as usual Wednesday.
Some districts are adjusting some after-school activities, so be sure to check your school district's plans.
According to the forecast, temperatures will remain below freezing for most of North Texas today, and strong north winds will make it feel a lot colder with wind chills near 10 to 26 degrees through the afternoon.
