    Exclamation Snow ! In Houston ?

    Yep, 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...

    Yeah, take that Algore

    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!



    This is in George Bush Park near the house, 3 PM, still coming down...

    Well... It's about 4:15 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

    It's funny that you would beat us (here in Canada) to snow, but you win this year.

    Some of us (here in Canada!) had snow long ago already, in early October; green leaves were left frozen on the trees, so we never really had an autumn. Then it warmed up again, and I put away the shovel, but we had more than a few inches of the white stuff fall last night, and more through the day. I'm just heading out to shovel again.

    Snow

    Congratulations on beating most of southern Ontario Canada to the first snow of the season. Nothing like a winter wonderland.

    Up here in the Hill Country (northwest of San Antonio), we were supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow, but we didn't get squat.

    This has been a weird weather year. We're just coming off of a 2-year drought. We had about 60 days this summer over 100 degrees. Now there's snow in the area, which is almost unheard of. Crazy.
