As North Texas faces another round of winter weather in 2026, residents are reminded of the deadly 2021 deep freeze and the series of powerful winter storms over the past 16 years.

Nearly all lakes in North Texas saw some type of lake snow effect, especially the larger bodies of water such as Lake Lewisville. “We get a similar effect just on a much, much smaller scale,” Dunn said.

Black ice could become the next travel hazard for Dallas-Fort Worth after days of sleet and snow. The National Weather Service’s Fort Worth office warns black ice is possible Tuesday morning after snow and sleet from the winter storm refreeze.

Here are the latest North Texas conditions. Snow, sleet and freezing rain are expected to worsen conditions through the day.

Investigators say an 18‑year‑old driver lost control on icy roads before being arrested on a DWI charge early Saturday.

Temperatures are not expected to go above freezing until at least midday Tuesday. But is this weekend one of the coldest ever in Fort Worth?

As of 1 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 24, nearly 16,000 people were without power as the storm moved through Oncor's service territory, the agency said in a press release. Oncor's service area includes the majority of North Texas and parts of West Texas.

DART said it's prioritizing the safety of its riders, operators and frontline teams while maintaining service on its most frequently used routes.
