Winter weather updates: Ice and snow cause power outages and traffic issues across North Texas
While the storm is not expected to be as severe as last year's freeze, temps have dropped below freezing and will stay that way for an extended period of time.

More than 25,000 customers were without power Thursday morning and many residents have reported downed trees, as sleet, freezing rain and snow hit North Texas.

Widespread sleet began to transition to snow early Thursday for western parts of North Texas. It began tapering off in that area, before it moves out later this evening.

Here are the latest updates from across North Texas:

Latest forecast
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for all of North Texas. Accumulations of sleet, snow are ongoing in North Texas.

Travel will be difficult due to ice and snow Thursday morning. Ice accumulations and gusty winds on utility lines could cause power disruptions. Cold wind chills could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken.

The Warning is set to expire at 6 p.m. on Thursday when all wintry weather should be done falling in North Texas, but cold temps and hazardous roads are possible into the weekend.
