DALLAS — A Winter Storm Warning in effect for all of North Texas has expired, but it has been replaced with an advisory due to dangerous wind chills that is in effect until Friday morning.
After accumulations of sleet and snow all Thursday morning and afternoon in North Texas, travel will continue be difficult overnight into Friday. Ice accumulations and gusty winds on utility lines continue to pose a risk for power disruptions. The cold wind chills could result in hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
Depending on where you live or work in the area, the winter weather might be hitting you differently than in other parts.
Here are some of the impacts that were felt Thursday:
Collin County
Collin County saw a lot of rain and some freezing rain late Wednesday night.
Ice started to coat on a lot of of the trees and some of the power lines. Roads started to become wet as well.
Collin County Emergency Management said its team had one weather-related accident in Josephine. There were no injuries.
Big branches started to come down onto fences and alleyways in parts of Allen.
The Farmersville Police Department said Thursday night city electric crews have been back to multiple locations all day trimming trees and picking up wire.
Places that were fixed in the dark Thursday morning began to sag and break again with large tree limbs snapping and sagging again onto power lines, according to police.
Lines that the department checked prior to re-energizing circuits are continuing to fault due to tree limbs that weren’t there before but are now.
Most of the early morning and all-day efforts have been toward this process, police say. Farmersville dealt with a lot of freezing precipitation from around 6:30 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Wednesday going into Thursday.
City electric crews are currently working to restore power to as many residents and businesses as possible.
Dallas
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport had to temporarily suspend operations Thursday because of the weather impacts.
Operations had been suspended until 11 a.m. while runways were being treated for snow and ice.
By around noon, the first American Airline flights began arriving to DFW, among them a flight from Houston. By about 12:30 p.m., the first departure from DFW was set to take off, headed to Cancun, Mexico.
Denton
Denton Police have responded to 16 crash calls since 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
Two of the crashes resulted in injuries but none were serious, police say. Officers have been dispatched to three assist motorists calls.
There was a storm-related outage that occurred overnight when a tree fell across a power line and then impacted 17 customers, according to the City of Denton. Power has been restored and there were no active outages as of 6:00 a.m.

Decatur
Some overpasses and bridges are starting to have ice form, creating some slick roads.
With Highway 287 still covered in snow and ice Thursday, some drivers decided to stop and stay at a nearby gas station until the road conditions improved.
Hunt County
The northern parts of Hunt County saw widespread power outages and storm debris Thursday.
County crews have been responding to many calls of downed trees, according to Hunt County Judge Bobby Stovall.
Stovall also said he has been encouraging many people stay safe and did not go out onto the roads. All school districts and non-essential county departments have shut down through the week.
