Houston Snow on Pansies

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!Snow on a Palm Tree

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!!
