Snow in Houston

[Tigersman]

All over our nation we have seen snow especially in the North and East. Here in Houston snow is a rarity but we have received 3 to 5 inches of snow. Our bridges and overpasses are icy and slick which reportedly caused a three-semi wreck. Traffic is almost non-existent, but it appears the drivers are still going too fast for the conditions which is only get worse tonight with temperatures in the teens. My female Dalmatian is walking on our steppingstones and taking it easy when she wants back in. She almost slid into our back door because she lost traction running up to the door. There has been very limited power outages that apparently wasn't enough to cause Cancun Cruz to head to Mexico.

It's -2 here. Balmy.

Family down on the Gulf Coast phoned today, so excited at seeing 3+" of snow down there. Bless 'em

Most of the snow has melted here. Houston had 123 crashes due to slippery ramps and bridges. My Dalmatian didn't care much for the snow today.

That’s crazy! People don’t know how to drive in Houston the moment a single snowflake hits the ground.

I remember it snowed just before Christmas in 2017. I was a nervous 17yo trying to handle an Escalade on I-10; it was the longest drive of my life.

I remember driving in Oklahoma on a two-lane highway with snow. One moment things were going fine, the next moment I did a 180 still in my lane. I managed to get the car, a '72 Capri turned around then the next thing I knew I was in a ditch nose up. Some guys helped me out of the ditch but that really scared me.
