I-10 west of San Antonio - a no no
 
Raining & 27 degrees.
If your planning on running I 10, between San Antonio and El paso, park it.
Not a pleasant day on the roads, and not looking good until tomorrow??
Nothing but ice for 200 miles around us.
Drive safe....

It's still below freezing here in the Las Cruces/El Paso area.

I think it is still open El Paso to the Van Horn area or even as far as the 10-20 split....hey packrat got any snow yet?....I think the forecast was for a chance of snow this afternoon but nothing major.

No snow as of yet. We did get a quick "blizzard" about 2 weeks ago that gave us about 1-1/2 inches. It's basically just cold here. I call it "housecat-sleeping-in-the-heat-vent-stream" weather.

I don't know what area of El Paso you are in, but I've been here all day, and most of the ice on my truck has finally fallen off (and it was a whopping 2-3 inches thick).

It was a beautiful day here, and tomorrow will be even better. Not a lick of precipitation. 8)

San Antonio should be back up and running by about noon Wed. 01/17. Schools will be closed, as will most colleges and Universities.

The roads here are not really in bad shape; the problem is that the people here have a hard enough time driving safely when it is clear and dry. Let someone hit a patch of ice and slam on their brakes, (as people around here are known to do!!) and you wind up with "Bumper Car City"!! For most other parts of the country, the weather here would just be considered cold and wet!!

No, it isn't a "dry cold", and even though it's actually in the low 30's you do feel it when you go outside!!

At 9:30 AM, it wasn't doing a thing in El Paso. The roads were dry, and the weather was fine.
