About 48,000 customers were without electricity in North Texas Monday night because of icy conditions, said Oncor spokeswoman Megan Wright. She had no estimate on when power might be restored.

Temperatures dropped below freezing at Dallas Love Field, which reported a low of 31 degrees Monday. Temperatures at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport stayed just above freezing at 33 degrees, said Nick Hampshire, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.

Incoming flights at D/FW Airport were delayed about 90 minutes Monday because of the weather, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The cold weather, however, was expected to be short-lived as the cold front shifted east, Hampshire said.

“The roads in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex had no problems. There were some reports of tree limbs snapping due to ice,” Hampshire said. “All in all, it really could have been a lot worse.”

There is a 20 percent chance of rain in North Texas on Tuesday with a high near 57 and a low of 37, according to the National Weather Service.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

Weatherford junior to perform with All-State choir
When she was a little girl, Cassandra Kirby used to climb up next to her grandmother’s big fireplace and sing songs during the holiday get-togethers.
While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
