I had a fairly good amount re-sodded last October and I do hope the cold weather has not killed it.

Hmm. Prolific weeds, no evidence of new grass, still looks dead. By now there should be evidence of new grass. Prolific weeds mean they are hold-overs from last year and indicate an unhealthy lawn. The new grass should be poking up through the dead grass.
I think it is time to get professional advice. St. Augustine lawns are fickle. Take good care of them and they will grow healthy and crowd out weeds. Otherwise they go bad in a hurry and the only recourse is re-sodding. That is spelled $$$$$. Once re-sodded they require constant watering. I have seen a number of lawns re-sodded only to be ignored and now they must be re-sodded again.
