Denton police have responded to nearly 100 accidents on icy roads - and more ice is on the way.

The City of Denton has crews operating sand trucks around the clock.

Michelle Lopez ventured out to go grocery shopping and said she drove cautiously."I think the roads are treacherous. We just don't know how to drive in Texas on ice. We don't have the tires for it, we don't have patience for it." Another Denton resident also found the roads slick."They're bad actually, pretty slippery. We slid all the way here." The Pennsylvania native, now a student at the University of North Texas, said he wasn't worried about falling on the ice."If you just take it slow, little steps, walk like a penguin, you're not going to slip too bad, and I've fallen before. I get back up.

Because of the ice storm warning, Denton County and City of Denton leaders said all of their facilities would remain closed Wednesday.Our Daily Bread at 909 N. Loop 288 in Denton, and the Denton Salvation Army, 1508 E. McKinney Street. Two others are in Lewisville: Lewisville Salvation Army, 880 Fox Avenue and the Relevant Life Church, 331 E.
