Expect extreme cold, icy roads on Monday in North Texas

North Texas became a backdrop for skiing, ice skating, sledding and dancing over the weekend.

• Officials say the region's deep freeze — and the safety concerns that come with it — will likely linger until tomorrow.

The big picture: Temperatures in the Dallas area have remained below freezing since late Friday, per the National Weather Service.

• The arctic air created steamnadoes — rotations of steam spinning up into the clouds — over some of the lakes in North and Central Texas.

The latest: An extreme cold warning is in effect until 9am tomorrow, with lows forecast to be in the teens or single digits, per the National Weather Service's Fort Worth office.

• Several school districts, including Dallas, Fort Worth and Frisco, will be closed today and tomorrow.

Threat level: Roads across the region were still icy as of this morning. Officials are urging North Texans to be careful while driving and playing outside.

• A 16-year-old girl died in Frisco yesterday, after a sled she was riding in collided with a tree. Another girl was critically injured.
• A Colleyville man was hospitalized after being found unresponsive in a pond near his house.
• "Avoid unnecessary travel to help keep roadways clear for restoration personnel and first responders," Oncor said on its website.

What's next: Warmer weather is coming. Highs tomorrow are expected to be in the upper 30s.
