Stay Warm

Winter in San Antonio usually lasts from December to February. Sometimes, the temperature can drop below freezing for several days. Winter storms can bring very cold weather with freezing rain, ice, snow, or strong winds.

The City of San Antonio encourages residents to prepare for cold weather with the four Ps:

People

Keep warm and dress in layers.
Check on family, friends, and neighbors who may be more vulnerable or may not have access to housing and heating, including older adults and people with disabilities.

Pets

Bring pets inside to keep them warm and safe.
If you are unable to bring your pets inside, provide adequate shelter away from the wind with water and food.

Pipes

Cover pipes and allow faucets to slowly drip to prevent them from freezing.

Plants

Bring potted plants inside.
For outdoor plants, water and cover them to prevent them from freezing.
