The freezing precipitation that occurred over the weekend resulted in many secondary roads becoming impassable and made several driveways particularly hazardous across the state.

In addition, several power crews were strategically positioned in preparation for the potential impact on power lines caused by the weight of the frozen rain and ice, or due to the breaking of tree branches. The majority of power outages are reported in the far East Texas region, affecting just over 60,000 residents who are presently without electricity, as per the latest update.
