Dallas —
Snow blanketed parts of Texas in a winter storm that slowed traffic and led to the cancellation of hundreds of flights.
The National Weather Service says snow was reported Thursday morning in Amarillo, Lubbock, Tyler and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
American Airlines spokesman Steve Schlachter (SHLAWK'-ter) told The Associated Press that the Fort Worth-based carrier had canceled 478 flights systemwide Thursday.
Southwest Airlines, with its main hub at Dallas Love Field, said it was monitoring the weather system. Southwest advised travelers in the Baltimore-Washington, Philadelphia and New York City areas that many of its flights had been canceled Thursday.
Texas Christian University in Fort Worth was closed for the day "due to icy road conditions."
