| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Rain changed to freezing rain and sleet late in the afternoon as a sharp cold front moved across the region. Temperatures plummeted from the upper 50s during the morning into the upper 20s by early nightfall. The wintry precipitation lasted for only a few hours, but was sufficient to cause numerous accidents. Most involved vehicles spinning out of control and sliding into ditches, but one accident was fatal. In Williamson County, a vehicle left the road and flipped over, killing the driver. |
