Texas Lightning Truck is out enjoying Sunday's snowfall. Live video from the truck can be seen in the player above.
If you do not see video, the truck is not currently live-streaming. But don't worry, if we're not live, we'll replace the video feed with some super cool photos of our truck!
Three years after the Texas Thunder Truck made his maiden voyage in February 2015, Texas Lightning Truck has debuted on the streets of Dallas-Fort Worth.
Both trucks have fully-mobile weather technology and communications systems packed inside and are designed to drive into the storm and deliver live coverage in real time.
With the addition of Texas Lightning Truck, NBC 5 is able to cover more area in the vast and sprawling region of North Texas, which is especially helpful when there are different storm cells developing in multiple locations.
