Snow flurries fall around North Texas as extreme cold warning continues
The snow falling across North Texas is dry and fine, so it won't stick on the roads, but be aware of possible black ice. Unfortunately, it isn't snowman making snow. Some of the snow is called lake effect snow, which happens when cold air moves over warm water, picking up the moisture and developing into snow.
Here are 2 reasons North Texas saw snow flurries Wednesday morning
If you are not near a lake, this snow is not lake effect. The light "snow drizzle" is actually coming from snow grains developing at the base of a temperature inversion. In this case, it is an elevated shallow layer of warm, humid air sitting on top of cold, dry air we feel at the surface.
