for about the 3rd time in my life, it's snowing in Houston. Nothing too spectacular, but they are getting a few inches nearer the coast.

Out in my driveway about noon, 34 Degrees F. , big flakes, but they're only sticking to Max the dog....

About an hour later, 31 Degrees, Winter Wonderland (Houston version)
I'll post some more if it gets interesting...
Glad someone is enjoying the snow. It hasnt made it that far down the coast. Near me, League City area, hasnt gotten any yet.
I can't believe ya'll are getting it, and we have none, almost 400 miles north of you!!! It's cold here, but the sun is shining, and not a cloud in the sky... :-\
We woke up to an absolutely gorgeous winter wonderland here in San Angelo! Ill try and post some photos in a bit!
I was walking my dog Max when it started snowing. Though my Max is a lot smaller than yours. I'm a bit north of Houston and it hasn't started sticking that much here yet, only started a bit ago, sometime around 2ish.
snow is finally starting to stick and it is beautiful where i live, ill be putting up some pics in a couple hours.
and what I would like to say with love from MN is.. *PPPPBBBBBBBBBTTTTTT* ;D :-*
A good noontime flurry here in Kilgore, TX, but none stuck. It's clear skies now and the temps are falling again. Dangit! Gotta turn on heaters for the chickens tonight....sux
West side of Houston, checking in. Snow is coming and going. Kids are out in the streets beating the crap out of each other with snow balls. The Sonic employees down the street have started collecting snow and ice and begun making snow cannons. Look out, they're smarter than they look LOL!
How's this for global warming Algore ? :P
Well....About 2 PM, I took my mother in-law to lunch, 32 degrees, still coming down pretty steady...

Her car was pretty well coated...

So we took mine, the intercooled turbo loves the cold air, and ol'Zardoz loves steering with the throttle! ;D

This is in George Bush Park near the house, 3 PM, still coming down...
We had a few flakes here in San Antonio around 11ish, just enough to say it snowed but not enough to stick or anything like that
Thankfully...
Now, someone pass me an aerosol spray can so we can get this global warming going again.
*My rum don't like the cold, it told me so*
it was snowing in Pasadena at 8:30 this morning, sticking by 10. By noon, when they sent us home, it was starting to melt and had switched to rain. It doesn't appear to have snowed at all in Texas City.
about 4 PM, Snow and snow-ish precipitation has stopped here. My wife out in Sealy, 45 miles west of here, says it's clearing up there.
Interesting and fun while it lasted ;)
A true houston snow man, half mud and half snow.

we've had snow on and off all day up here north of Houston, while a friend of mine in western Washington says they haven't had any snowfall this year at all :D
Down here in Bacliff it started showing snow flakes at about 2:45. But not much and didnt last more than 30 mins. Hopefully more will come.
It came 6 days to late!
my horse playing in the snow

My sister woke me up this morning telling me it was snowing, so I got up looked and then went back to sleep a few hours later she came back home and yelled again hey get up it is really snowing you have to see this. I got up and we went and played in the snow I hope it comes back.
hopefully it snows again at christmas time.

Take Care,

Everyone be careful out there. It's pretty frozen out there - I had to carry the dog up the stairs as he panicked about half way up.

LOL, too true, southern texans don't know how to drive in snow and ice!!! I'm up in Huntsville and my poor dog has no clue what to do with snow, he's so confused.
Heck, I'm pretty sure most of 'em don't even know how to walk on the stuff!!! I mean, who would even have snow boots down there?!? :o
It's not snow. It doesn't snow in Houston. It's probably radioactive fall-out.

Might have to agree with you there......after all it IS Houston.....

You're exactly right. It's radioactive particles of oil by-products pumped deliberately into the air by the evil oil companies!!! Big Al said so.
The ducks and geese looked at me funny this morning trying to get a drink of water. Seems their baths got mighty hard overnight. And it's official. I have a duck that thinks it's Jesus! I wish I'd had the camera when I walked out this morning. Little black duck slipping around on what should have been a morning bath!! Too funny!

They also have these things called, get this... coats! It's something you wear when the temperature drops low enough for it to... SNOW!!!
Oh... and we may need to wait until you've absorbed that before we start on the (gasp)... snow tires!!!
<--- Making plans to move further south.
Snow = Demon Vomit
I can't believe it actually stuck AND lasted until the next morning. Thank God its all gone now. Bring on the sunshine and warmth.
Yeah, now everything's all soggy......eh. and soggy in Houston means really dirty slush.
Wanna really throw 'em off? Start talkin' about snow plows and chains...
Or maybe whiteout conditions... salted roads (well, they sorta got that already...)... school closures... We could go on, but I think they're already starting to forget it even happened! :D
See, I'm so glad I dont live further north. There are soooooo many things, I would really hate to have to deal with.
because I grew up in Southeast Alaska, I keep getting asked to drive in this stuff. I have to point out that I grew up in Sitka, which has a total of 12 miles of linear road, and more people owned boats than cars. I didn't drive till I wound up in the lower 48 :D
Me and Kirby in the snow! If you can't tell, Kirby was saying between chattering teeth "Hurry up! It's cold out here!"

The Heights in a "blizzard" (yeah, I know what one really looks like after all those years growing up in NJ, but this is impressive for Houston)! We were packing for Dickens on the Strand in the snow and hoping it would follow us to Galveston for an evening out in proper Victorian weather.
