With a winter storm set to impact North Texas starting early Thursday, parents and students are scrambling to stay informed about school closings. As icy roads and freezing temperatures approach, districts across the region are updating their plans.

A wintry mix is expected to blow into Central Texas on Thursday and has prompted at least one Hill County school district to issue a delay to Thursday's classes. The Burnet school district will operate on a two-hour delay Thursday, officials announced. Most students returned to class this week after a holiday break in December and early January.

With the possibility of frozen precipitation in southwest Arkansas, area schools and government offices may announce closures as a measure of caution and to limit the amount of traffic on potentially icy roadways.
