Crews across North Texas are preparing the roads for winter weather Monday.

A Winter Weather Advisory was issued for parts of North Texas. A cold front swept in Monday afternoon, making way for a chance of freezing rain, sleet and snow.

Officials from several cities have posted on social media how they're treating the highways before possible snow and ice fall in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

#GrapevineTX Public Works crews will be applying a sand/salt mixture to bridges & overpasses as precipitation falls. If driving behind a sanding truck, our crews ask that you please drive slowly & wait until they have completed their process before passing them. #SafetyFirst pic.twitter.com/tus2aONbvA

Roads will still be icy in spots in/around DFW for the Tuesday morning commute. If you are traveling south or will be trying to drive in areas east and south of DFW on Tuesday, please plan on roads being extremely slippery and dangerous.
