...Cold and icy New Year's Eve into New Year's Day for much of 
North and Central Texas....

* LOCATIONS IMPACTED...All of North and Central Texas.
 
* TIMING....Now through New Year's Day.

* COLD TEMPERATURES...By midnight, actual air temperatures are
  expected to fall into the teens along the Red River and across
  the Big Country. Elsewhere, temperatures in the 20s are
  expected. By sunrise New Year's Day, temperatures will fall into
  the teens across almost all of North and Central Texas. A few
  areas may only fall into the lower 20s across eastern parts of
  Central Texas. 

* WIND CHILLS...Wind chills will fall into the single digits and
  teens areawide by midnight. By sunrise New Year's Day, wind
  chill values will be below zero for the northwestern half of the
  area with single digit and teen wind chill values elsewhere. The
  low wind chills will mean that frostbite may occur in under 30
  minutes if individuals do not dress properly for the cold.

* SLICK ROADS...Some area roads will likely remain slick and
  potentially very hazardous due to ice and/or snow. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Travel will be difficult tonight for areas in which a thin glaze
of ice or thin coating of snow remains. Motorists are urged to
exercise caution when driving or walking on sidewalks. Normal
travel should remain possible, however be prepared to practice
safe winter driving techniques, especially when crossing bridges
and overpasses.

In addition, dress in layers to protect yourself from the very
cold conditions!
