Schools, colleges and public government offices announced daylong closures and changes in operations through Feb. 1 as a result of wintry weather affecting much of Texas.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures were reported at slightly above freezing at 10 a.m. Jan. 31, but below freezing temperatures are affecting the Texas Hill Country and other communities north of San Antonio, leading to freezing precipitation and some icy roadways.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for the San Antonio area, forecasting periods of freezing rain through early Feb. 2.
NWS said ice accumulations up to half 1 inch are possible north of Loop 1604 and in northern Bexar County, adding that ice on ramps, overpasses and elevated bridges is possible, causing hazardous travel conditions through early Feb. 2.
