Texas' wintry forecast brought plenty of cold air and snow to parts of the coast, impacting sea turtle populations.

As freezing temperatures blasted the coast, many turtles were left “cold-stunned” and in need of rehabilitation.

Most of the Dallas-Fort Worth area missed the snow, with only “traces” reported in northern cities, the weather service says.

The Austin area is expected to get 1-2 inches of a wintry mix of snow and sleet on Monday and Tuesday. Austin ISD and other local school districts have announced closures for Tuesday.
