Frigid conditions persist across the San Antonio area, but the precipitation has dissipated.
There was ice on the stage and in the field where people were going to gather at Pittman Sullivan Park for San Antonio's Martin Luther King Jr. March events.
Besides icy roads Monday morning, safety concerns at the park were also a factor in canceling the MLK March.
Hey y’all! Some unfortunate news :-/

The Public Utility Commission of Texas is echoing a call from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or ERCOT, asking Texans to conserve electricity use, if safe to do so, from 6 a.m. – 9 a.m. Tuesday.
With the winter storm encompassing the entire state and temperatures forecasted to be colder Monday evening and into Tuesday morning, ERCOT is forecasting higher demand as Texans return to work and schools reopen. ERCOT is not experiencing emergency conditions at this time.
