The winter storm has reached Central Texas, disrupting daily life across the region, including school operations. Several Central Texas school districts, along with colleges and universities, have adjusted schedules for Tuesday, January 27, as an arctic blast brings freezing temperatures and hazardous conditions, reported FOX7 AUSTIN.
While the worst of the freezing rain and ice storm may have moved out, dangerous road conditions remain a concern, reported mysanantonio.com. Even with sunshine on Monday, January 26, officials warned that melting ice could refreeze overnight as temperatures drop below freezing. This has left many families across Texas uncertain about when schools will safely reopen.
