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 ac ulate 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!

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!

I love cold weather...
Let It Snow!

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.
My balls itch when its cold.
Lovin this weather my friends.
After months of heat from July thorugh November,
IM LOVIN ME THIS 40s and 30s!!!!
Do I have a choice? I hate the cold myself. And I have a cold already, so it really sucks now.
I thought they shrink with the cold...
Where the is our weatherman? He's been slacking off...
If it doesn't rain by 6:30, I still have to play softball in this weather. Damn its going to be cold out there.
Well take them out of your wifes purse and scratch them
Me, too. Daytime, Non-drowsy my ass, I just kept nodding off in a meeting of three.
I took some Niquil last night and it did not help at all, I still could not sleep well.Me, too. Daytime, Non-drowsy my ass, I just kept nodding off in a meeting of three.
thats why you gotta take TWO shots.
TWO shots knocks my fat ass right out.
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.
Edit: The daytime cheapo stuff from Walmart gels, NOT the liquid...
I think Ill hit up the Tequila bottle tonight.
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.
