Dallas snow: 4 inches in some areas | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: In Denton, families are enjoying a snow day with about four inches of snowfall, creating opportunities for snowball fights, snow angels, and snowman-building. With schools closed, kids are out making the most of the winter weather. However, drivers are advised to proceed cautiously on the roads, as conditions can be slick and slushy, especially in residential areas yet to be cleared. Snow plows and salt trucks are actively working on major highways, but some roadways remain challenging. For safety, it’s recommended to stay home unless travel is necessary, and to drive slowly if venturing out.
FOX’s Tisia Munzinga has a look at the winter weather from Denton.

SUMMARY: A federal ban on TikTok took effect in the U.S., preventing millions of users from accessing the app, which was removed from major app stores. Users encountered a message stating, “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now,” as the ban was enacted due to national security concerns over its Chinese ownership. The law was signed into effect after Congress passed legislation linking the ban to a foreign aid package. While TikTok’s CEO expressed hope for a resolution through President-elect Trump, the app’s future remains uncertain. TikTok has been ordered to sever ties with ByteDance, or face a nationwide ban.

SUMMARY: Stephen King recently ignited discussion about whether the Oscars should proceed amid California’s devastating wildfires, stating he wouldn’t vote this year and suggesting the ceremony be canceled. While some agreed, industry insiders argued for its continuation, emphasizing the event’s economic importance for the many workers impacted by recent strikes and the pandemic. They highlighted that Oscar weekend provides critical income for middle-class workers. King acknowledged these points but still felt it inappropriate to celebrate amid tragedy, likening it to “Nero fiddling while Rome burns.” The 97th Academy Awards are scheduled for March 2 in Hollywood.

SUMMARY: Southern states dominated the latest Site Selection magazine survey for the best business climate in the U.S. Georgia took the top spot, followed by North Carolina and South Carolina, with Texas dropping to fourth place, tied with Tennessee.

Key factors driving the South’s success include a strong workforce, favorable tax policies, and lower costs of living. Site selectors noted challenges such as labor shortages and affordable housing. California and New Jersey were cited as having the worst business climates due to their high tax rates.
