Mother Nature sneaked in Thursday sending school kids home early and snarling traffic.

Schools in the area let out early as snow, sleet and rain turned roadways into slush when the storm, which dropped as much as eight inches of snow in parts of Parker County, ripped through about five hours ahead of predictions.

While most areas of North Texas got snow, the heaviest accumulations were to the north and west of Tarrant County. Northern Parker and Wise Counties were among the hardest hit.

Weatherford College is running on its regular schedule.
