NWS Dallas/Fort Worth has issued their first wind chill warning... ever? Not sure when wind chill warnings officially became a thing (I know there used to be cold wave warnings ever since the inception of the Weather Bureau in the 1800s), but it appears to be the first one that the Iowa Mesonet has cataloged since they began tracking wind chill warnings in 2005.

549 PM CST Sun Feb 14 2021

...WIND CHILL WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TUESDAY...
...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CST MONDAY...

* WHAT...For the Winter Storm Warning, heavy snow. Additional snow
accumulations of 2 to 6 inches across North and Central Texas on
top of what has already fallen. For the Wind Chill Warning,
dangerously cold wind chills. Wind chills as low as 20 below
zero on Monday morning and 15 to 20 below zero on Tuesday
morning.

* WHERE...Portions of north central, northeast and south central
Texas.

* WHEN...For the Winter Storm Warning, until 9 AM CST Monday.
For the Wind Chill Warning, until noon CST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Travel will be dangerous through Monday morning.
Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening
commute. Extreme wind chills as low as 20 below zero will become
life threatening to people and animals outside without adequate
warmth or shelter! The cold wind chills could cause frostbite
on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Avoid travel. Stay off roads until
conditions improve.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in
your vehicle in case of an emergency.

Avoid outside activities if possible. When outside, make sure you
wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves.

The latest road conditions for Texas can be found at
drivetexas.org.

Yeah once it came through, conditions just changed instantly. Lots of snow and this fog.

2010 was special in a way but the snow quality is nothing compared to this. And the cold with it is legendary. And it is here to stay all week.

Next band of heavier snow starting in north Tarrant with more still back to Abilene. I am guessing 3 inches with maybe 2-3 more.

It's deteriorated much worse. I had to make a U-turn back because it was getting uncomfortable with the visibility and couldn't tell road from sidewalk.

It’s hard to tell with how windy it is but I’d say we currently have somewhere between 7-10” with drifts as high as 2’
