Cynthia Vega, WFAA-TV, in southern Dallas

5:32 a.m.: Watch for brisk winds today; the temperature in Dallas has fallen to 28 degrees.

Reporter Dan Ronan used a CD case to scrape the ice from his windshield.

5:08 a.m.: Steady precipitation falling here since about 4:15 this morning. We have been driving throughout Collin County and we're seeing icing on cars and icing on trees. Police at the Lewisville Department are particularly concerned about drivers trying to use the Lake Lewisville Bridge. A tip to get ice off your windshield if you don't have a scraper, turn on the defroster and use a CD case. We found it worked pretty well. Dan Ronan, WFAA-TV, in Denton County

5:07 a.m.: Interstate 30 and I-35W in Fort Worth: The roadways look like they're just wet, but that's not the case. It's black ice. Darla Miles, WFAA-TV, in Fort Worth

5:04 a.m.: There are no reports of any road closures. Roads that had been closed overnight have reopened. Interchanges and overpasses continue to be dangerous spots. The Lake Lewisville Bridge was closed overnight. It has reopened, but it is still very slick. Alexa Conomos

5:02 a.m.: All of North Texas has temperatures either right at or below freezing which could cause problems on the road. By 7:00 a.m. it looks like we'll be on the back edge of the line of freezing rain, and by noon, it should be headed well off tTo the south and east. However, the temperatures for North Texas are not looking like they'll get much above freezing, today. Greg Fields

5 a.m.: The ice is falling in all counties at this hour. Johnson County and Southern Dallas County are very active. Tarrant County is trying to wind down. The northwestern corner is starting to dry out. Pete Delkus

4:55 a.m.: Right now, light rain is mixed with some sleet and it is widespread across the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The areas of particular action are Duncanville to Hutchins to Balch Springs - and from Carrollton to Plano and Allen. Although, it is starting to wind down. Pete Delkus

4:49 a.m.: Slick roads in Garland may have contributed to a fatality accident overnight. Around midnight a car and an 18-wheeler collided on I-30 and Beltline Road. The woman killed was 24-year-old Sonia Shutz of Dallas. WFAA-TV

4:48 a.m.: Right now, not many accidents, but the icy conditions continue. Be careful on bridges and overpasses. Alexa Conomos

10: 50 p.m. Temperatures are dropping at this hour and we are hovering around the 30 degree mark. There is freezing rain here in Dallas County, which includes a freezing drizzle over the Dallas High Five. The freezing rain and drizzle will continue to move off north. As it moves off, we will continue to have problems because of the wide area of precipitation. It extends well to the south of us. There will be a lull in the action as the storm breaks, but then more will move in tonight. By rush hour tomorrow, we will still be seeing the back-end of it with some freezing precipitation and gusty winds over 30 mph. That will cause some power outages probably as we continue to accumulate ice. The low tonight is 24 degrees, which will go up to 31 degrees tomorrow. We will still be looking at freezing rain into tomorrow. The Ice Storm Warning is still in effect until 6:00 a.m. Pete Delkus and Steve McCauley, WFAA-TV meteorologists

10:30 p.m. Over the last half hour, conditions have really changed out here in Dallas. There was a short burst of rain, and then you could feel the temperature drop and we began to see the ice. Since then, we have seen a few cars lose control on the Dallas High Five. Earlier tonight at Frankford and the Dallas North Tollway, the power was out for nearly three hours. Fifteen apartment complexes in the area were without power after a tree limb fell on a power line. WFAA's Craig Civale, North Dallas

10:08 p.m. While watching live shots out of Tarrant and Collin counties, I realized were pretty lucky out here in Wise County. While the roads haven't iced over in the area, it seems like everything else has, which included a frozen American flag we came across. WFAA's Chris Hawes, Decatur

10:07 p.m. We came across a very unlucky person sliding off the road in their car and while it was a pretty bad accident, no one was hurt. But that wasn't the only accident we encountered. "I was coming northbound on the tollway and two cars slid out in front of me," said driver Chris Barnett of an accident he witnessed on his way to work. We also came across a rear-end collision in Lewisville as one of the drivers was on her way home from work. As the evening war on, we saw person after person lose control of their vehicle as sand trucks tried to keep up with the demand. While just at an intersection at The Shops of Legacy, we saw five people spin out. WFAA's Bob Greene, Plano

10:06 p.m. As rain turns into ice, driving conditions continue to deteriorate. I see ice beginning to form on the trees around the interchange at Interstate 35 and Interstate 30. Traffic at the interchange is moving at a very slow crawl, and Fort Worth police have begun to shut down some of the overpasses in the area. We have seen one car go up an overpass and as the car hit the ice, turn around and come back down against the traffic. We have also seen several cars slip and slide. WFAA's Bert Lozano, Fort Worth

10:04 p.m. We already have a lot of traffic problems in the area, especially in the Fort Worth region. It seems Tarrant County is getting the brunt of the ice reports, as well as the accidents. Watch for ice on the Fort Worth mix master and the southern part of Fort Worth. There are also some problems reported in the northern area, including Denton and Collin counties. On U.S. 75 there have been reports of ice in the Allen area, and on the Dallas High Five. Right now Dallas is just starting to get reports of ice on the road, so it is a very fluid situation. We advise if you don't have to get on the road early tomorrow morning, don't. However if you do, give yourself extra time and watch side streets, overpasses and elevated interchanges. Alexa Conomos, WFAA-TV

10:00 p.m. Not everyone is picking up the rain right now. But from Cedar Hill to Duncanville to DeSoto, freezing rain is taking place. In Johnson County it is raining, but as it moves into Tarrant County it should turn into freezing rain. From Duncanville, there are already reports of large broken tree limbs because of the weight of the ice. With the temperatures in the Dallas/Fort Worth area now below freezing, freezing rail will fall on and off until around 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. But we will finally dry out around noon tomorrow.

9:20 p.m. Sleet and freezing rain is becoming a bit more widespread now. An accident caused by ice led to a closure of part of westbound Interstate 30 at Bryant Irving Road. Parts of Denton and Collin counties are experiencing freezing rain as well. Reports of ice-covered trees have been made in Plano and Allen. In Highland Park and Garland, moderate freezing rains are also falling. Numbers are starting to drop, and the little bit of rain that has been in place across the area will now transition over into all freezing rain. Pete Delkus, WFAA-TV meteorologist

9:15 p.m. Plano is closing a section of northbound U.S. 75 at Spring Creek due to ice. WFAA-TV staff

9:00 p.m. TXU Electricity Delivery says 4,600 customers are without power in Tarrant, Dallas, Denton and Collin Counties. WFAA-TV staff

8:30 p.m. Freezing rain is falling throughout Tarrant County right now. The fairly extensive band of freezing rain is moving northeast, which has already moved into the northern parts of Dallas County and reported throughout Denton County. The freezing rain is in the process of moving into Collin County. Frisco, Prosper, Plano, Allen and McKinney will all see freezing rain within the next 30 minutes. The Weatherford Fire Department reported power outages in Parker County along Highway 51 to Old Springtown. Power outages were also reported in parts of Plano. In Arlington, power lines were down due to ice on Wilshire Boulevard. By midnight tonight, the freezing rain will move throughout the entire area and it looks like it could be a dicey commute tomorrow. Pete Delkus, WFAA-TV meteorologist

6:45: A spokesperson for Southwest Airlines said 46 flights were cancelled out of Dallas Love Field Sunday. Thirty-four of those cancellations were announced Saturday and were for flights prior to noon Sunday. WFAA-TV staff

6:30: Due to power outages at apartment buildings in North Dallas, the American Red Cross is coordinating efforts with the city of Dallas to provide safe shelter to those who need it. As of yet, no one has needed shelter, however that could change. A nearby shelter location has been identified. We will continue to provide information as it becomes available. Anita Foster, American Red Cross

5:57: We still have the Ice Storm Warning in effect for Dallas-Fort Worth, Rockwall County and points to the west. East of that area is a Freezing Rain Advisory, which means the most significant ice accumulation is expected to the areas under the Ice Storm Warning. By midnight tonight, the large area of freezing rain will translate very slowly to the east. It could actually expand a little, unfortunately just in time for rush hour traffic as the freezing rain continues from just southeast of Wichita Falls, where we could see a mixture of sleet and snow. By about 9:00 a.m. Monday morning, everything should come just about to an end - at least as far as the precipitation goes in Dallas-Fort Worth. The winds will be strong, at 15 to 25 to gushing over 30. If we continue to accumulate ice, the ice that has covered trees may begin to crack and may be enough wind to cause the branches to break. If they break over power lines that could cause power outages. Steve McCauley, WFAA-TV meteorologist

5:55: Temperatures in Dallas are around 32 degrees, but they will finally drop tonight. The temperatures have been around 31 degrees or lower in the Fort Worth area and points of the west. It has been the tale of two systems. The first system to hit Dallas is just rain. The second system, which is west of Fort Worth now, is freezing rain. We're seeing flooding in areas to the east of Dallas, and we're seeing significant ice accumulation to the west of Fort Worth. But temperatures will drop, which means a little bit of sleet for everyone. Pete Delkus, WFAA-TV meteorologist

5:25: While the weather has been a slushy mess, there is some good news. When you're in a drought situation, we will take a multi-inch rain event any time that we can get it. In the last 48 to 60 hour period, we have had over an inch in many areas around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. At D/FW Airport, the rain has hit 3.20 inches and almost four inches in Mesquite. In McKinney, it has reached 3.19 inches, which is flowing into Lake Lavon. Now Lake Lavon is only down 13 feet, which was previously down 17 feet last Friday. Lake Lewisville, which was down 10 feet, is now down seven feet. Joe Pool is now the only lake in North Texas that is actually above normal by two feet. Steve McCauley, WFAA-TV meteorologist

5:20: Rain and freezing rain continue throughout some parts of North Texas. It is raining right now in Collin County, which includes some freezing rain and a few pellets of sleet in Plano. The exact same thing is happening in Rockwall, Ellis, Kaufman and Dallas counties as the rain moves throughout parts of North Texas. The next wave of freezing rain is coming from the West as it moves to the northeast. It will move into the Dallas-Fort Worth area as we head into the evening hours. Pete Delkus, WFAA-TV meteorologist

5:00 p.m. I just drove from Plano, at the Dallas North Tollway and Parker Road, to downtown Dallas. Traffic was clear, but the drive was slow with cautious drivers. While the roads were wet, I saw no signs of freezing rain. I also didn't see any accidents, but saw the remnants of some trouble in the form of leftover red road flares while driving north on the Dallas North Tollway just after Interstate 635. While stopping at a store in Plano I did see a few pellets of sleet on the sidewalk. Marjorie Owens, WFAA.com

It was 33 degrees at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at 11:20 Sunday morning, but temperatures were expected to drop throughout the day. Tara Dudsik, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, said scattered thunderstorms are likely all day. “It’s starting to increase in intensity right now,” she said. Dudsik said freezing rain will probably fall this evening, adding there is a chance of freezing rain and sleet after midnight. She said North Texans should expect to wake up to about a quarter-inch of ice Monday morning and that more light sleet will be expected before noon. "It’ll be messy," she said.

8:00 p.m.: There are 3 main storm systems affecting North Texas. The first one passed during the day, and the second will arrive by morning. This second one could bring moderate to heavy freezing rain to the DFW area. However, if it rains hard enough, warm air aloft could be brought down to the surface and melt much of the ice in the local area! Although this is a possibility, it is not a likelihood. The third and final wave will arrive Sunday night and Monday morning bringing light freezing rain along with gusty north winds. Therefore, if enough ice manages to accumulate on area trees and power lines, these gusty winds could threaten serious power outages by causing ice-ladened tree limbs to fall on power lines. However, if we do get a temperature spike during the day Sunday with temperatures climbing above freezing, this threat will be minimized. Steve McCauley

7:30 p.m.: What's the difference between sleet and freezing rain? Sleet pellets are raindrops that freeze in the air and strike the ground and bounce as tiny balls of ice. Freezing rain is also composed of raindrops, but they do not freeze until they actually hit the ground. Raindrops that freeze instantly upon contact create a glaze of ice on all exposed objects. Sleet pellets usually do not cause major travel problems, but freezing rain tends to coat trees, power lines, and eventually streets with a thin layer of ice making travel very difficult. Steve McCauley

6:27 p.m.: The thing I'm really concerned about Monday morning is the winds. That could be a major problem with ice-laden trees. Winds will be picking up to 30 mph on Monday which could be a problem with ice-laden trees. I don’t expect a lot of precipitation tonight of the frozen variety. If the rain comes down really hard in the morning or the early afternoon, temperatures could go up because it is 60 degrees up there, so the rain could bring down some of the warm air. Steve McCauley

6:26 p.m.: We're getting a little bit of a break in precipitation, right now. Flooding has been a major problem. We have seen anywhere from three to five inches of rain in North Texas.
