Winter Weather updates for January 2026

Latest News & Updates

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝟭/𝟮𝟴/𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟰:𝟯𝟬 𝗽.𝗺.

Good afternoon, Southlake — the great thaw has begun!

Road Conditions: With temperatures in the mid-40s, snow and ice are melting, and road conditions are improving. Roads are wet and slushy, but neighborhood streets, parking lots, and shaded areas still have wintery cover and may take longer to fully thaw. Please continue to slow down in these areas over the next few days.

City teams were out across Southlake today, treating roads like Kimball Avenue, as well as Dove and Kirkwood Boulevard. They were also clearing out snow and ice at City facilities, including Champions Club and the Bob Jones Nature Center. We’re also glad that so many of you were able to safely visit Champions Club and Legends Hall over the past two days. Be sure to check the Southlake Pickleball Complex and Southlake Tennis Center Facebook pages for their reopening information.

Trash & Recycling Reminder: CWD will resume residential trash tomorrow (1/29) and Friday (1/30), weather permitting. All recycling and bulk/brush will be serviced next week, on your regularly scheduled day.

We made it through, Southlake! Thank you for staying with us and looking out for one another.

Winter Weather Update, 1/28/2026, 7:30 a.m.

Good morning, Southlake – With temperatures falling back below freezing overnight, melted snow and ice have refrozen, creating slick road conditions. Here’s what you need to know as the day gets started.

Road Conditions:

An accident involving two semi-trucks at SH 121 and SH 114 in Grapevine has traffic backed up into Southlake. This accident could take a couple of hours to clear up, so be aware.

Southlake Police and Fire report very slippery roads all over the City. Southlake Boulevard has many areas of black ice near intersections, and travel on Kimball Avenue is difficult due to the slope of the road. If you can, consider staying home a bit longer to allow temperatures to rise. If you do have to drive, don’t be fooled by roads and highways that appear clear – there could be patches of ice that you can’t see. Also, neighborhoods and shaded areas will continue to have icy spots. Take your time, especially on service roads, overpasses, bridges, and patchy areas, so you can reach your destination safely.

Our Public Works teams are back at it this morning and will be out all day treating priority roads. If you see them, give them plenty of room to do their work. The good news is that temperatures are rising, and we are expected to get into the 40s today.

City Facilities and Programs:
City facilities will open today, Wednesday, 1/28, at 10:00 a.m., including

All Southlake City Offices

Southlake Public Library

Legends Hall & Senior Activity Center

Champions Club

Closures:

The Southlake Pickleball Complex and the Southlake Tennis Center are closed today.

City Services / How to Get Help:
If you need to take care of City business before 10:00 a.m., many of our services are available online at CityofSouthlake.com: https://bit.ly/49ZMFRv.

Our teams are also available by phone at (817) 748-8400, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. We look forward to serving you in person starting at 10:00 a.m.

Trash and Recycling: As a reminder, CWD, residential trash and recycling services are expected to resume Thursday (1/29) and Friday (1/30), weather permitting. Any recycling missed on Monday or Tuesday of this week, will be collected on the next scheduled service day. Commercial service is expected to resume today (1/28).

We continue to monitor conditions and will share an afternoon update if necessary.

Winter Weather Update, 1/28/2026, 4:20 p.m.

Good afternoon, Southlake. We got above freezing today, and our #ProtectSouthlake teams have made the most of it – treating streets and helping people in need. Here’s the latest information about what’s ahead for today and tomorrow.

Road Conditions:

Our Public Works teams are out treating and clearing ice and snow from Southlake’s major roadways, intersections, and known trouble spots. These efforts, along with above-freezing temperatures, have helped improve conditions, but many roads have turned slushy with pockets of packed ice mixed in. Shaded areas and lower-volume streets are likely to stay icy until temperatures remain above freezing for a few days.

If you see our #ProtectSouthlake teams working on the streets, please give them plenty of room—it helps keep everyone safe and gets our City back to normal sooner. And if you’re out driving, please take it slow. Our Police and Fire teams are still seeing slick spots in shaded areas, on steep roads, and in parking lots. Even if roads look clear, slowing down helps keep everyone safe.

One more heads-up on the roads: patchy to dense freezing fog and below-freezing temperatures overnight could cause refreezing by Wednesday morning. If you’re out, please slow down and take extra care.

Trash and Recycling: According to CWD, residential trash and recycling services are expected to resume Thursday (1/29) and Friday (1/30), weather permitting. Any recycling missed on Monday or Tuesday of this week will be collected on the next scheduled service day. Commercial service is expected to resume on Wednesday (1/28).

City Facilities and Programs:
City facilities will open at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 1/28:

Southlake City Offices

Southlake Public Library

Legends Hall & Senior Activity Center

Champions Club

Closures:

The Southlake Pickleball Complex and the Southlake Tennis Center will be closed tomorrow.

Finally, it will get below freezing tonight, so don’t forget to keep dripping your faucets to avoid frozen pipes. We are monitoring conditions and will share a morning update if needed.

Winter Weather Update, 1/27/2026, 8:50 a.m. – Good Morning, Southlake. Freezing temperatures are still impacting conditions across the city—here’s what you need to know as you start your Tuesday.

Road Conditions: Road conditions remain slick and ice-packed across the city this morning, especially along SH 114 and Southlake Boulevard. While treated lanes are passable, many areas still have ice. With more drivers on the roads, everyone is encouraged to slow down and use extra caution.

Keep your heat on and maintain indoor temperatures at 40°F or higher
Seal gaps around doors, windows, and anywhere pipes or cables enter your home to keep cold air out
If your home has a dry fire sprinkler system, keep an eye on system air pressure and routinely drain low points to prevent moisture buildup
Know where your home’s main water shutoff valve is located at the water meter and how to turn it off in case of an emergency
