Bell County first responders receive overwhelming number of crash calls during Thursday's ice storm and last updated 2021-02-11 22:00:01-05 From black ice to piles of slush, Central Texas drivers experienced it all on Thursday during an ice storm. However, for those who moved to Texas from the north, like Mike and Patricia Woolensack, driving in the wintry weather may be easy. So, they offered their advice. âStay home, and if you gotta go out, increase your interval and slow down,â Mike said while laughing. But for a lot of Central Texans, thatâs not the case. Many are new to driving in such harsh conditions.
