When will ice and snow melt across Dallas-Fort Worth ... and more news

from The Dallas Morning News · host The Dallas Morning News

North Texans are left with one crucial question: When will this snow and ice melt? Unfortunately, there isn’t just one answer. Instead, a pattern of melting and refreezing may persist for several days. That refreezing makes black ice a threat for D-FW commuters today. Exact road conditions will depend on how much ice can be cleared by the Texas Department of Transportation throughout the day. In other news, Wakeland High School officials confirmed that the 16-year old girl who died in a sledding accident Sunday was a sophomore at the school. 16-year old Elizabeth Angle died after the sled she and another 16-year-old girl were on collided with a tree; Gov. Greg Abbott said Monday the White House needs to “recalibrate” Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s mission to rebuild public trust after federal agents fatally shot a second protester in Minnesota; nd Dallas police impounded nearly a dozen all-terrain vehicles Sunday after reports of reckless driving during the weekend’s icy conditions, the department said, including one response in Deep Ellum that led to an arrest on a child-endangerment charge.
