The main band of sleet and snow arrived in North Texas from the west. The heaviest snow moved through the metro area between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. and then headed east.
"It's like a mixture of snow and hail at the same time," said North Texas resident Wes Brown.
"Someone was saying earlier, they had a sunburn on Saturday and now this," said Weatherford resident Kim Cherryhomes. "It's typical crazy Texas weather."
Early Monday morning, high winds managed to topple trees and power lines in Mineral Wells, Canton and Athens.
"The wind feels like a knife," said North Texas resident Todd Howard.
DFW Airport officials canceled 111 flights for Monday evening in anticipation of the weather.
"It's strange," said Weatherford resident Penny Means. "We were under a tornado watch just last night, and now it's going to snow today."
