Latest Round of Winter Weather has Caused School Closures or Delays Across East Texas
As the meme says, winter has decided to unleash it's full wrath upon East Texas in three days instead of the entire season. Because of that cold and icy weather being dumped upon us, many schools across East Texas will need to either close or delay their openings so students can stay safe. Below you will find that latest information as provided to us.

Thankfully Not a Repeat of 2021
The latest cold front that moved through over the weekend brought a lot of rain and colder temperatures to East Texas. It isn't cold or stormy enough to replicate what we went through for that week in February of 2021 but it is strong enough to cause some issues during the morning hours for the next couple of days.
The light rain and sleet is expected to continue throughout the night. Temperatures are expected to get down to right at, or just below, freezing. This will cause that rain and sleet to stick to our vehicles and to various bridges and overpasses making them dangerous to drive over or even impassable.
