Not only Houston but all over Texas. Places it hasn't snowed ever and/or in a long time IT IS ACTUALLY SNOWING!!!!!!!
If I didn't live here in South Texas and just come in from playing with my niece and nephew outside in the snow I wouldn't believe it. I mean man woulda think it would snow in South Texas. I heard it was even snowing in Brownsville. Man this is turning out to be a pretty cool Christmas. D |

Corpus Christi ON THE FREAKING COAST OF SOUTH TEXAS is reporting Blizzard-like conditions(for the South).
Amazing... I had to read this 5 times before I could believe it(I still don't actually), but it's happening. CORPUS CHRISTI SNOW 28 26 92 NW18 30.35R VSB 1/2 WCI 15 That would be 1/2 mile visibility. May be the only time I ever see that down there.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HOUSTON/GALVESTON TX 753 PM CST FRI DEC 24 2004 .DISCUSSION... HAVE DECIDED TO RE-ISSUE/UPDATE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SE TX TO INCLUDE LOCATIONS JUST NORTH OF THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE/COULD SEE SNOW ACCUMULATING OVERNIGHT FOR THESE AREAS AS WELL. THERE IS ALSO SEEING ADDITIONAL PCPN DEVELOPMENT TO OUR SSW ATTM (AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO EJECT S/WS ACROSS THE REGION). LOOKING OVER THE RECORDS..THERE IS A VERY REAL AND DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THAT WE (MAINLY FOR IAH AND GLS) COULD SEE OUR VERY FIRST WHITE CHRISTMAS (THAT IS SINCE WX RECORDS HAVE BEEN KEPT). NOT PLANNING ON MAKING TOO MANY OTHER CHANGES FOR THIS EVENING SO WILL KEEP THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PKG PRETTY MUCH AS IS. |

Never seen snow at all, except on mountain caps in the distance. The closest I've seen is frost and that hardly ever happens
