Snow and sleet falling in parts of North Texas
There was snow falling in parts of Collin County Thursday morning around 7 a.m., according to WFAA reporters in the field. Around the same time, sleet was reportedly falling in Tarrant and Denton County.
Just before 3:30 p.m., snow fell across parts of downtown Dallas. Snow flurries came down outside our WFAA studios and some of our crew spent some time frolicking in the snow.
Road conditions worsen
Slick roads caused several accidents on North Texas roadways Thursday morning, including an 18-wheeler that jackknifed on State Highway 183 and was dangling off the overpass as crews worked to remove the truck and reopen the road.
Traffic was slow in the northern areas of DFW, where temperatures were below freezing.
Roadways were wet Thursday morning but conditions did not appear hazardous around 7 a.m. according to WFAA crews on the scene across North Texas.
In Plano, TxDOT crews were preparing to treat slick roads caused by snow and sleet quickly accumulated in Collin County.
In Irving, slick roads may have caused an 18-wheeler to jackknife, with parts of the truck’s cab dangling over the overpass, Irving police said in a social media post. The department encouraged people to stay home if possible.
Snow started accumulating in Denton County around 7 a.m. Thursday, crews reported fat flakes falling in the area, leading to quick accumulation on the areas surrounding major highways.
