Tarrant County gets another one to three inches of snow as freezing temperatures linger
North Texans woke up Wednesday morning to one to four inches of more snow on the ground, some freezing rain and a winter storm warning.
The winter storm warning was in effect until 8 p.m. Wednesday for portions of East and Central Texas with additional snow accumulation possible.
Parts of Tarrant County received one to three inches of snow overnight.
Meteorologist Steve Fano with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth said some areas of Dallas County may have seen more snow.
The winter storm warning also meant that travel could be dangerous in North Texas as ice and snow are on roads, streets and highways. On Tuesday, MedStar responded to 16 motor vehicle crashes.
The winter blast kept MedStar very busy. The agency responded to 573 calls on Tuesday with 77 hypothermia calls and eight patients treated for suspected carbon monoxide illness. MedStar serves Blue Mound, Burleson, Edgecliff Village, Forest Hill, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Haslet, Lakeside, Lake Worth, River Oaks, Saginaw, Sansom Park, Westover Hills, Westworth Village and White Settlement.
Freezing temperatures also will remain for several days.
Hundreds of thousands of households still were without power in North Texas and throughout the state. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas posted on social media Wednesday morning that 2.7 million households still did not have power in Texas.
Weather forecasters say North Texans will wake up Thursday morning to a temperature at 17 degrees. The daytime high will be 29.
It will be about 12 degrees on Friday morning and North Texans should see temperatures above freezing Friday afternoon as the forecast is calling for a high of 35.
By Saturday, temperatures should reach the upper 40s and the 50s on Sunday and Monday.
The forecast high for Tuesday is 65.
