Winter storm 2.0: This year’s February winter storm nothing like ‘Snowmageddon’ 2021

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.
