IT SNOWED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS LAST NIGHT!
If you want to see a few million happy, excited people, come to Houston, Texas this morning! And hurry before the snow melts!! I looked out the window this morning at 7 am and saw THIS!!! It hasn’t snowed like this in Houston in NINE years!! I am telling you, this was gasp-worthy!! Your mouth-hanging open worthy!! This is AMAZING!!! Yes, I’m excited!!
Last night I stood outside in my pajamas and winter coat about 10:30 PM, taking pictures of teeny tiny snowflakes landing on my black jacket! That was plenty exciting!! But I never dreamed I would wake up to THIS much snow!! I think they are saying about 1.0 – 1.5″ here but a couple hours away in College Station, TX they got 6 inches of snow!!!! And San Antonio hasn’t had snow in over 30 years I think I heard!
Yes, by this afternoon it will be like spring, with temperatures in about 60! I wish the snow would stick around all day!
And we do have palm trees with snow on them!! This is at a neighbor’s house.
Most streets are fine, because of course just the other day it was over 80 degrees, but some of the big, way-up-high connector ramps to the highways must be icy because the one by our house had traffic backed up and sanding trucks that I saw when I took my husband to the bus. I can’t believe they didn’t cancel school but good thing they didn’t because almost all streets are just wet and by afternoon all this snow will be just a memory! I never walked 10 miles to school in the snow when I was a kid, but, although we had snow days occasionally in St. Louis, sometimes we waited for the late school bus and went to school regardless.
Even if you have a great camera on your phone, be sure to keep a regular camera around for a day like this! My cellphone would not work this morning, even after restarting, maybe it was too cold, but if I didn’t have my regular camera I wouldn’t have been able to take pictures of the historic snow in Houston! Yes, we have snow in Houston, at least for a little while this morning!!
