Icy roads and frigid temperatures are forcing extended school closures<\/a>\u00a0across North Texas. With cold conditions expected to persist into midweek and roads slow to thaw, several Collin County districts have announced they will remain closed on Wednesday, Jan. 28.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/p>\n

According to the \u200bNational Weather Service<\/a>, Patchy to dense freezing fog is expected tonight into Wednesday morning across parts of North and Central Texas, with the thickest fog in North Texas. Light ice may form on roads and other surfaces, creating hidden slick spots. Drivers should exercise caution, leave extra distance between vehicles and allow additional travel time.<\/p>\n

While the Arctic blast is expected to ease by midweek, cold temperatures will persist. Highs should reach the upper 30s to 40s, with overnight lows in the teens and 20s \u2014 still well below typical North Texas winter averages.<\/p>\n
