Texas is set to experience a significant winter weather event starting today and continuing into tonight, with snow and ice predicted across different regions, particularly in the northern part of the state. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snowfall accumulation can reach up to 4 inches in some areas, while icy conditions pose a risk of hazardous travel. Meteorologists are advising residents to prepare for challenging weather conditions as ‘Winter Storm Cora’ moves through. Many communities are expecting school closures and delays in both public transportation and local businesses. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has already issued travel advisories, with cancellations and delays expected due to the weather. Authorities are urging residents to stay updated with weather alerts and to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. As one meteorologist stated, ‘Travelers should expect icy roads and to exercise caution at all times.’ With temperatures dropping below freezing, hypothermia and frostbite become a risk for those exposed to the elements for prolonged periods. The NWS also warns of potential power outages due to the weight of ice accumulations on trees and power lines. Local governments are mobilizing resources to clear roads and provide assistance, and residents are encouraged to stay indoors if possible as the storm passes.
