Cities cancel flights and school in anticipation as Dallas, Texas, is expected to get a year’s worth of snow. Parts of Texas and the US south are getting hit with yet another winter storm. The winter storm will hit central and northern Texas with 1-6in (3-15cm) of snow, according to the latest update from AccuWeather. Pockets of snowfall from 6-12in are expected to hit north of Dallas, Texas; to Arkansas, Tennessee and eastern North Carolina through Friday.
Several north Texas school districts have closed due to the storm, which could bring more than a year’s worth of snow to Dallas, Texas, where the yearly average snowfall is 1.6in, including sleet. Hundreds of flights in the Dallas area have been cancelled today. Road conditions in the area are expected to become dangerous by midday.
In Little Rock, Arkansas, school districts have closed on Thursday and Friday in preparation for the storm. Kansas City, Missouri, had closed classes on Wednesday for the third straight day due to the blast in freezing temperatures, and Richmond, Virginia, is still under a water boil advisory after the winter storm on Monday knocked out power at the local main water plant.
Georgia governor Brian Kemp announced some state offices would close on Friday due to the storm. In Atlanta, mayor Andre Dickens said city offices would be closed due to the incoming weather, with all city government offices closed but employees required to work virtually.
