Good morning, Abilene.

Abilene Zoo prepared for the recent freeze by setting up heated indoor exhibits and extra propane heaters — measures aimed at ensuring animals such as sloths are visible in the new Caribbean Cove.

Staff, including keepers and maintenance, worked daily to care for the animals amid icy conditions.

A brief snowfall today lets families in Abilene enjoy sledding, snowball fights and snow angels while school is canceled, and residents urge careful driving on slick roads (a rare winter treat).

Monks Coffee Shop closed early Friday and remained closed all day Saturday and Sunday last weekend when a winter storm disrupted local businesses.

The shop is slowly returning to normal operations while keeping employee safety as its top priority.

TxDOT crews are patrolling and treating icy roads in Abilene and the Big Country, and officials warn that slick spots on bridges and low areas may return tonight as temperatures drop.

Motorists are urged to slow down and allow extra travel time.

Stray dogs and cats face life-threatening cold, so local advocates at Abilene Stray Animal Program offer emergency shelter and food.

Residents are encouraged to provide temporary shelter or donate supplies + help protect these vulnerable animals.
