Upper Texas Coast Tropical Cyclones After Snowfall (November to March)TxLady wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2025 10:24 am Admittedly, I haven't gone back through the posts to see if my question may have already been answered. So, forgive, if it is a repeated subject. I would like to know if there is any historic/documented evidence to support the idea that the years we get Hurricane's are the years we also get Snow? Maybe a Ptarmigan question?

Includes Southwest Louisiana and South Texas.
Wide ranging from tropical depression to major hurricanes. Some are major hurricanes like Carla and Rita. Some are very wet storms like in 1899, 1981, and Imelda (2019). Many of these storms tend to be on the wet side. I included some storms that made landfall in South Texas, Mexico, and Central Louisiana.
Houston likely had snow in January 1886 as it snowed in Galveston that time. 1886 had Hurricane #1, Indianola Hurricane of 1886, Hurricane #8, and Hurricane #10.

It also snowed that time and Galveston Bay froze over. 1885-1886 is second in terms of snowfall amount after 1894-1895.
