Denton County residents woke up Saturday to a light blanket of white for the first time in at least three years.
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Denton County after a potent storm system dropped 1 to 4 inches of snow across the area.
Overall the roads fared well, but there were some slushy and icy spots, and several accident were reported.
The snow tapered off late Saturday morning and temperatures were expected to warm up to around 43 degrees in the afternoon. The forecast low Saturday night is 30 degrees, and warmer temperatures are expected to return Sunday.
