Staff Report
Thursday morning’s frigid commute was a little dicey due to some slick roads.
But traffic was lighter on Parker County thoroghfares because school buses were not out.
A thin layer of ice, which came with the anticipated cold front, triggered a winter weather advisory, as well as the cancellation or delay of most classes at county schools.
Public school tudents in Weatherford, Aledo, Springtown, Brock, Peaster, Poolville and Azle all get an unexpected day off Thursday . Garner ISD students are to report at 10 a.m.
In addition, Trinity Christian Academy, Victory Baptist Academy, Aledo Christian School and Aledo Country Day Academy were all shuttered Thursday.
Weatherford College was also shut down due to dangerous road conditions, as were City of Weatherford and Parker County offices.
The deep freeze is expected to last through Saturday afternoon. The mercury will climb only to the upper 20s today, but 20-30 mph winds will keep wind chill factors between 10 and 15 degrees most of the day.

However, Loftin said Thursday Fowler made the referenced statement to a room full of people at a fundraiser for Loftin and agreed to let Loftin’s campaign quote the sheriff. - Film director looking for local actors
