As state, county and city road crews continue to clear over 700 miles of roadways in Grayson County, travel remains mostly treacherous.

With temperatures on Wednesday morning in single digits until about 9:00 a.m., any roadways that were slushy on Tuesday afternoon will be ice covered during the morning commute.

Sunshine on Wednesday should again assist in clearing roadways of ice. The high on Wednesday, though, is projected to be only 25 degrees.

Storm damage

Grayson County Emergency Management (GCEM) said anyone with property damage as a result of the winter storm could be in line for FEMA assistance. Officials urge anyone with property damage to take photographs of the damage and keep receipts, as GCEM must document the damage.

Anyone with damage is asked to email GCEM at graysonemergency@gmail.com with relevant photos, names, addresses and phones numbers.
