Nearly one year after a major February winter storm iced in the state of Texas, another freeze swept into the state Wednesday creating hazardous road conditions across North Texas and shutting down schools and businesses.
However, this time, at least in Montague County, the storm did not dip to below zero temperatures or knock out power to residents like the “Snowmageddon of 2021.”
The weather forecasters nailed the timeline just right projecting snow would begin falling here mid-afternoon Wednesday.
Initially, it combined with sleet and continued that way on and off throughout the evening before giving way to snow that continued throughout the night.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their snow day photos. They were all great with lots of kids making snow angels, dogs playing ball, landscapes and babies seeing the snow for the first time. We had more than 200 submissions and while we won’t have room for all of them, we will put more in a picture page in the mid-week edition. Check out our Facebook page to see all the photos.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
