Southeast Texas residents should prepare for the most significant winter weather event in years, as freezing-cold temperatures and a winter storm are expected to hit the Houston area over the next several days.

Across Texas we are seeing freezing temperatures. A winter storm will bring snow to the Gulf Coast, while Dallas-Fort Worth should avoid the brunt of the weather.
