Snow/Ice for the Austin/SA area this week?

[benefactor]

Thursday evening, however, that should change to a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain from west to east across this I-10 corridor into at least southwest Louisiana, including areas from San Antonio to Houston.

As the temperatures fall, at least some ice is expected to build up on bridges and overpasses, especially as moisture from the earlier rainfall freezes up on untreated pavement. This will lead to a potentially hazardous commute Friday morning in these areas.

Bring it! Shut the city down.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I doubt anything that comes down will stay at all. It's been too warm lately for anything to stick.

[jeebus]

I suspect the city will wet itself after some ice patches form on one random bridge and shut down.

[Rogue]

Ain't it like the first time in your southerners lives to ever see snow/ice outside your refrigerators? you guys have every reason to feel excited tbh.

[DMC]

Fuck that, I'm going to Denver to fight it on it's own turf.

[xmas1997]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Drachen]

Lol, an email was sent out this morning to preemptively state that we are going to be open tomorrow.

Ahh but remember this is Texas, where everything can completely chage in a matter of hours.

[djohn2oo8]

Supposedly another round coming next week as well

[Chomag]

It's here...

[CosmicCowboy]

Temp projections have risen a lot since yesterday. Weather underground now has a low of 34 tomorrow morning.

[Drachen]

It's here...

What? The cold front?

[baseline bum]

Never get any snow out here. The 1/4 inch it snowed that day in Feb 2010 was the most since the 80s, right?

[Spur|n|Austin]

It's actually sleeting a tiny bit in downtown Austin.

[slacker77]

It's been pretty much a steady hard drizzle for the past two hours in Bulverde. From what I understand this is just the beginning. Not really looking forward to the mess this might be once the temp drops to freezing tonight.

Feb 2011, it snowed quite a bit out there

We got quite a bit in 2011 as well, but ours was in January.

https://scontent-b-iad.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/180224_1410755288882_4215836_n.jpg

We got a very light dusting today. Probably snowed for 30 minutes or so and quit.

[HI-FI]

getting some nice snow and ice right now about hour north of Austin.

The ice was staying on the ground a bit in my Brentwood backyard, but none on the street out front.

Well someone was wrong as it was already at 31 degrees at 830 pm :lol

[leemajors]

20 car pileup at mopac/290

[jeebus]

That's one of the few good things about SA. A light feathering of ice and the city explodes and shuts down.

Temple?

[HI-FI]

Temple?

Killeen/Ft Hood area which is near Temple. this area is covered in snow, so i imagine Temple is as well.

[ChumpDumper]

Decent amount of rain that froze. It's fine just crawling around the highways and frontage roads but people will kill themselves trying to get to work. Interesting there isn't much sand out yet on 183.

[CosmicCowboy]

It's not too bad out there. I should have used the remote start because my truck doors were frozen shut. All the freeways are closed but if you don't drive like an idiot you can get around fine. I hit ice on a couple of bridges but not bad.

[CosmicCowboy]

Well someone was wrong as it was already at 31 degrees at 830 pm :lol

Yeah, no shit. I just reported what they projected. They say it's 25.5 now @ 6:53

[MultiTroll]

AustinFag how are you coping?

[Creepn]

Hey guys, how is the weather from Temple to San Antonio? Family member got into an accident in SA this morning and wife is insisting on going. Is it real icy out there on 35? Snow?

I know 35 is closed in downtown San Antonio. The same 18 wheelers have been parked there by my office since at least 6am when I got there so I can't imagine how far traffic would be backed up by now. I'd be shocked if 35 is open in Austin as well.

Thanks CC.

[clambake]

whats the temperature? its a blistering cold 66 degrees here.

[Blake]

They are saying it's at least three hours to get a tow truck if you get into an accident

[Das Texan]

Yeah, no shit. I just reported what they projected. They say it's 25.5 now @ 6:53


I didnt say it was you! :lol

Moron fake 'meteorologists' i assume made that prediction.

[bigzak25]

Well, I got the day off cuz of the weather, so I'm grateful. Woohoo, time for a morning bake!

[Spur|n|Austin]

Great day to work from home that's for sure, there's been over 200 accidents reported here. It'll be fine to drive on it a bit if not already though.

[leemajors]

my daughter got to jump on her icy trampoline :lol

[bigzak25]

Now at vallarta where the beer is cold and the waitresses hot!

[Chomag]

Gonna have to go in at midnight at work and do a double for being closed this morning uhhg...

Sidenote- why the hell are people so stupid here? I know we don't get allot of weather like this but still, when their is ice out there don't fucking speed! It's a no wonder they have to shut this whole city down at a hint of freeze lol

A lot worse are the ones going 20 and hitting their brakes when they think there is ice.

[Chomag]

Thats true, that too. I have no idea why these people think breaking on ice is a good idea. I go slow and to slow down I use my lower gears, letting the higher engine revs slow me down, only breaking when im at a near complete stop.

[The Gemini Method]

That's one of the few good things about SA. A light feathering of ice and the city explodes and shuts down.

Bruh. You should experience SoCal during Storm Watch 20__. Peeps go crazy like the end of the world as we know it is nigh. Fuckers drive like its NYE each and e'ery day and its hilarious. There is a simultaneous lack of control when there is even a hint of sprinkles or light rain out hea.

[Das Texan]

you mean that wont work?

fuck!

[Blake]

I saw a large icicle fall off the power line and hit the car ahead of me about 20 minutes ago.

[ColinB]

Went into the office at 12 today. Traffic still sucked around 1604/281 but sleeping in was nice.

[djohn2oo8]

Another freeze coming?

[djohn2oo8]

Yup, 1-2 inches of snow expected for Houston area, coming west from SA.

[Drachen]

And we ain't gon' git shit

Hate when people from the north talk shit about this. They should walk across a parking lot full of ice then come back and say it's not a lot more slippery than snow tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

I wish Iwe had SA weather...

-51c windchill -32C tomorrow....This year we had -56c back in December. Fuck this shit.

Feels like fucking winter is forever..And people wonder why the city never reaches a million in population.

Seriously considering getting out of this Arctic shithole...The city is great for sure, but seeing everyone here in spurstalk talk about their weather...fuck

We got so much more icy roads..LOL. You seriously would never want to live in the North..

Heck, you'd probably take the next plane back if you visit Manitoba.

[leemajors]

way worse out there today than last week :lol

No you ain't solo, it's even lower levels you can go
Take sun people, put 'em in a land of snow

tbh

[xmas1997]

I have to laugh at people for making fun of San Antonians who suffer in icy weather here, but cry and whine, and even die, when they have 90 degree and above where they live while we have over 100 degrees here all the time.
It's ludicrous.

Im from the north and we have. It gets iced up also, we used to laugh at people falling outside when I was in High school.
