Area drivers might fight icy roads as front blows in

There's a chance that San Antonio-area motorists, if they aren't careful, could be slipping and sliding on roads tonight and Thursday.

An arctic front blasting through the state is expected to hit South Central Texas this afternoon and could bring freezing rain tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

Gusty winds will quickly chill temperatures, dropping them to below freezing by 11 p.m. at San Antonio International Airport.

Today's high isn't expected to reach beyond 47.

There's a 30 percent chance of rain tonight in San Antonio, but the odds are as high as 50 percent in Austin and 70 percent in Dallas, weather officials said. An advisory was expected to be issued today for areas just north of San Antonio.

"Because the soils have been rather warm lately, the ice is expected to accumulate mainly on bridges, overpasses and elevated roads across the area," said Larry Eblen of the weather service office in New Braunfels.

If ice sticks to roads and bridges, motorists should consider not driving anywhere until it melts, officials say. If they feel they need to, they should drive slower.

"The biggest factor in safe driving are the drivers," said Tom Wendorf, the city's public works director.

City police and Texas Department of Transportation officials monitor roads and bridges from the TransGuide building and will decide if any need to be closed or treated. The city has 15 trucks ready, and TxDOT has 51 to spread ice control agents or crushed rocks.

"We don't anticipate a white Christmas, but we remain vigilant to treat roadways for ice conditions," said John Bohuslav, TxDOT's maintenance director.

San Antonio should dry up Thursday, but will remain cold, according to forecasters. The high temperature will be 44, which is the usual low for this time of year.

"It's not even officially winter yet," said NWS meteorologist Clay Anderson in New Braunfels.

The low tonight is expected to hit 30, and Thursday night it will be 26. Friday and Saturday will be warmer, with temperatures in the 50s and 60s.

Stay safe and use caution! In other words, stay home if you don't have to be anywhere!

Yall are lucky!!

Here it has been highs around 10 degrees (with lows between 0-5)!! And thats just the temp. The windchill makes it much worse! I hate cold weather! :pctoss

[Faccia di Angelo]

No..I need a new jacket. My sweater isn't cutting it. And I'm worried about my parents since they live outside of town now and there's a higher risk of ice on the roads. And my brakes are acting up :(
But I do LOVE this weather!

In a way, I kinda hope we DO get some precipitation. If we do, the temperature won't go as low as it will if we don't. The cloud cover helps insulate.

The front has already kicked the Metroplex in the face this morning. Got out of work at noon and I hit ice on two bridges on the way home. I really don't mind cold weather, it's the frozen rain and sleet that I hate.

Me, too. Daytime, Non-drowsy my ass, I just kept nodding off in a meeting of three. :oops :sleep :lolI took some Niquil last night and it did not help at all, I still could not sleep well.

[T Park]

thats why you gotta take TWO shots.

TWO shots knocks my fat ass right out.

[pache100]

I took some Niquil last night and it did not help at all, I still could not sleep well.

Nighttime Nyquil makes my heart race (and not in the good way, in the scary way). But, I can take the Daytime cheapo stuff from Walmart and it works wonders (and doesn't make me sleepy - and EVERYthing makes me sleepy). You can't buy more than two packages at a time, though, because if you have more than that, they think you are running a meth lab. :lol

Edit: The daytime cheapo stuff from Walmart gels, NOT the liquid...

[sa_butta]

thats why you gotta take TWO shots.

TWO shots knocks my fat ass right out.I think Ill hit up the Tequila bottle tonight.

[Kori Ellis]

LJ and I both have colds too. I thought it was allergies at first. But since LJ has it too then I guess it's a cold.

We took Theraflu last night instead of NyQuil. It worked pretty well.

[spurs=bling]

I sure am! :spin

no snow it will only make my ankle hurt more.

[LuvBones]

I'm not ready. I need gloves and a heavy jacket! :(

[Old School Chic]

Theraflu works wonders...

[SpursWoman]

A single shot of Nyquil knocked me out like a sledge hammer last night ... I was just trying to get through the day so I can go home and bury myself under a blanket.

I stopped at Walgreen's for some Tylenol Cold and had to take the little card back to the pharmacy, show my ID and get logged into a binder.

Are you sure y'all didn't get hit by the mountain cedar? If my oldest and I don't start using Flonase daily at the beginning of Nov, we get knocked on our asses by it.

Cedar is horrible and you will feel awful (for me, it's the stuffy nose) until it's out of here, which is usually FEBRUARY. But since a lot of y'all are having the same symptoms, I wouldn't be surprised if that's it, since this exactly the time of year it blows in from those Canadian fronts.

2 years ago, I started using Flonase daily starting in November and haven't been hit with it the past two years.

I know it can get bad ... we had Thanksgiving Dinner at Tapatio Springs a month before I graduated from college ... the very weekend the first of it blew into the Hill Country and we were right in the middle of it. I walked the stage with 104 fever and pnemonia..still sick from that shit ... but for what I had to pay to get there, they could have wheeled me across on a gurney...I was going to be there. :lol

[Shelly]

Face it. It's part of being a Texan. The trees are here to stay, and so is the allergy.



The signs are unmistakable: the eyes burn and turn fiery red; the nose runs; the insides of the ears itch. Incessant sneezing--up to

two or three hundred times a day--leaves some victims exhausted. On top of this, an insidious malaise sets in, making it hard to do anything but stare vacantly at the wall, while at the same time a nagging little voice says, "Get up. It's just an allergy."

But cedar fever is not just any allergy. It's a scourge, a plague that smites the just and the unjust who have the misfortune to live anywhere in a broad strip of Central Texas that stretches from the Red River to the Rio Grande. The progenitor of all this misery is a medium-sized, frankly undistinguished tree with sinewy limbs covered in shaggy bark that vaguely resembles orangutan fur. Despite its common name, the mountain cedar is actually a juniper (Juniperus ashei). Every year around December, we blunder into the midst of the cedar's mating ritual. It begins with the appearance of the male cones--embarrassingly small, amber-colored structures no larger than a grain of rice. In good years (or bad, depending on your viewpoint) they blanket the tops of the trees, turning them an aggressive tawny orange. When the wind rises, great gritty clouds of the pollen drift aloft, making the woods look like they are aflame. This airborne milt can waft for miles until it runs into something sticky, like the small green cone of the female tree or the inside of your nose.

Once cedar pollen gets into your system, its evil nature is revealed. Compared with it, ragweed is a wimp. The key is the biochemical structure of cedar pollen's protein coat, which appears to have properties that make it unusually noxious. Then there's the sheer quantity of the grains. In a rainy year the trees produce tons, and the pollen count, the Richter scale of allergy, goes through the roof.

If mountain cedar causes so much trouble, some sufferers have raged (between sneezes), why not clear it out? It's a health hazard, it robs grazing land of water, and unlike its cousin Juniperus communis, you can't make gin out of the berries (too bad, because a mountain cedar martini could be a surefire way to forget your allergy woes). The trouble with cutting down the cedars is that it would be ecologically unwise, not to mention impossible. They cover many of the 24 million acres of the Edwards Plateau, providing drought-tolerant, year-round greenery for erosion control, stock and wildlife shelter, and the raw materials for the fence-post industry. Physically and philosophically, cedar defines Central Texas. You can no more think of that terrain without cedar than without live oak or limestone. Sentimentalists would also insist that the resinous aroma of cedar-wood campfire on a starry autumn night is one of the things that makes life worth living.

Sentimentalism scores no points with allergy sufferers, though. What they want is relief. Temporary palliatives include the usual antihistamines and decongestants, plus a sodium cromolyn spray that has been used with good effect in England. Truly wretched cases may qualify for cortisone, but the drug's side effects make it a last resort. Nutritionists have a theory that any allergy fans the flames of stress, and they suggest taking pantothenic acid (a B vitamin), zinc, or vitamin C. Omitting beef and yeast foods can ameliorate attacks in some instances. But the one thing cedar fever victims can't do is escape their destiny. Those who are fated to develop symptoms usually do so after a couple of seasons, but some have been smitten after ten, even twenty smug years.

Eventually most of the afflicted end up at an allergist's office for a series of shots that help about 75 per cent of the time. Allergists can reassure you that you don't have a cold (it runs its course in a week) or a fever (you just feel flushed). What they can't tell you is why you can build immunity by injecting the irritant but not by breathing it. If all else fails, your only recourse may be to leave town for the duration; that was the preferred treatment of writer J. Frank Dobie.

The obsession with nostrums and the wild talk about eradicating the mountain cedar miss a perverse but essential point: cedar fever is part of being a Texan. Other places suffer the malady, to be sure, but none of them have Juniperus ashei. It's our own personal poison, part of Mother Nature's hazing ritual designed just for Texans, and those who have been initiated wear the affliction like a red badge of courage. After all, we are in a war zone.

I thought the first day I was getting sick that it was Cedar. But LJ doesn't get affected by Cedar and he got sick .. so I changed my mind and decided it was a cold. Who knows though. I took some Tylenol Allergy just in case. :lol

Go buy another 6 pack of pints just in case. You don't want to be left in the cold without some brew to warm you up.

Yea cedar get's me too. And I have maybe 100+ cedars in my yard. You can shake em and red dust cloud will come out lol when it peaks.

Well yeah that's the easy answer, problem is all the roads are icing over already, and it's too fucking cold to walk the half mile to the closest convenience store. The wind chill's like 10 and it is very windy.

Listen to Shelly...she is right about the cedar...an amazing amount of people (including me) get hammered by it...and you can't necessarily check the "pollen count" to see if it is a bad day...it can be very localized...

Cedars have "male" and "female" trees...the male trees actually make little "pollen bombs"...you can sit and watch a hillside of cedar this time of year and actually see "pollen explosions"...big puffs of yellow dust...you can get pollen blasted anywhere you are downwind of cedar...

I medicate from December till March to keep it under control...I buy the hundred count bottle of generic sudafed (decongestant) and claritin (antihistamine) and bounce back and forth...

If you just use an antihistamine you stand a much greater chance of getting a sinus infection...sometimes you just need to get a box of kleenex and hit the decongestants to clean everything out...

[Vashner]

Red dust.. Yellow dust is Oak..

[2Blonde]

Here in SA they said the cedar pollen started showing up in small amounts last week. That's about the time I started having my symptoms. I upped my flonase and sudafed to twice a day. I was already taking my claritin twice a day.

I don't see any smoke/steam, and it doesn't do it once the car is warmed up and I'm driving ... wasn't bad this morning, because I warmed up the car with the windows cracked. Except for one window, because it was frozen shut. :wow :lol

If we set the downstairs above 62 then the upstairs feels like 95. I have to sit at the computer with a heated blanket over me today.

2Blonde, if you or your husband are mechanically inclined, get some dampers from Lowe's/Home Depot and get up in the attic and find which branch lines off your distribution box (big silver box in the attic that has the feed from the unit and then has all the branch lines running to each room) run to the upstairs rooms and install the dampers there and close them. This will force the majority of the warm air to the downstairs rooms. I had to do the same thing at my house.

I don't see any smoke/steam, and it doesn't do it once the car is warmed up and I'm driving ... wasn't bad this morning, because I warmed up the car with the windows cracked. Except for one window, because it was frozen shut. :wow :lol

well im set on heater core. but again i could be wrong. take it in if you have 7 bills just lying around. thats what they told me it would cost for parts and labor. unfortunatly its located right behind the dash so everything has to come out in order to replace it. if it is an exhaust prob. which im still thinking it is not, then the cost should be much lower. but quick question. whats the make and model? yr?

2000 Pontiac Grand Am ... it being the most expensive problem wouldn't surprise me because 1. it's Christmas 2. it's paid off and I am enjoying no car payment 3. It just hit 100K miles on Tuesday. :depressed
