The ice storm entered CPS Energy’s service area early Wednesday morning, leading to 26,000 power outages in northern and western San Antonio. Crews have already restored power to thousands of customers and were working to get it back on for all affected customers. National Weather Service meteorologist Paul Yura said Wednesday up to one-quarter of an inch of ice was being reported in northern Bexar County on trees, signs and power lines.

Yura said northern Bexar County will remain at or below freezing and ice may not melt until Thursday afternoon, when temperatures are expected to rise to the 40s. The weather service discouraged travel through the Hill Country and in the Austin- San Antonio metropolitan areas.
