Warm/moist air rising above a sub-freezing arctic airmass generated freezing rain and sleet across much of North and Central Texas during the last few days of January through February 2nd. This was a complex event with several rounds of freezing drizzle, sleet, and freezing rain. The beginning of this event is discussed in the January 2023 Storm Data summary, but on February 1st & 2nd freezing rain was the primary form of precipitation leading to ice accumulations up to 0.75 across parts of Central and far Northeast Texas. Tree damage and power outages were the primary impacts during the early February days. Because the winter event had begun a few days before, travel impacts were more notable in late January, but icy roads continued February 1st & 2nd.
