More Unwelcome Snow Hits Texas 2 Days Before Super Bowl, Flights Cancelled

Texas got another blast of winter overnight Friday, with several centimetres of snow piling up on icy streets and sidewalks just two days before the Super Bowl.

North Texas hasn’t quite cleaned up from Tuesday’s ice storm and the latest storm threatened to disrupt travel before Sunday’s game between Green Bay and Pittsburgh.

Love Field, home to Southwest Airlines, was closed before dawn Friday and 120 flights were cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

A winter storm warning was in effect for Arlington, where the Steelers and the Packers will play in Cowboys Stadium with the retractable roof closed.

The storm hit as partygoers were out late Thursday and early Friday. Rams running back Steven Jackson tweeted: “All this snow.. This can’t be Dallas.”
