What Steve is alluding to....

I don't know...It was graupelling pretty good when I was running the ATV around taking care of the plants and pipes, but I wouldn't trade that for heat and humidity.

On another note - this is what I think of regarding an El Nino winter: upper level moisture from the Pacific over running cold Arctic blasts. That seems to be the usual way for Houston to get frozen precip.

Getting a sleet shower in Clute.

It's official. IAH reported light snow at 1606Z and light snow/sleet at 1612Z

Yes!!! Finally seeing snowflakes at the farm! Not exactly whiteout conditions, but a nice surprise nonetheless.

Impressive little sleet shower here in Pasadena. Sleet starting to accumulate on rooftops here in my neighborhood.

HGX Update...a little Met 101 from HGX..our pros know this..but we as the public learn every day..

Update from Jeff:

Light sleet and snow progressing now generally east of a line from Liberty to Pasadena to Liberty.

KIAH did report about 12 minutes of sleet and snow around 1000am this morning and based on these observations…this will become the earliest reported snow/sleet in the record of the City of Houston…so a fairly rare event.

Given continued cold air advection and cloud cover along with the effects of the morning wet bulb due to the falling precipitation, most area will only reach the mid 40’s for highs today.

Widespread freeze remains likely for most areas tonight except the immediate coast.

Sleet mixed with some big snow flakes just outside of Angleton.

HGX Morning Update

Sleeting by the bay!!

Freeze Warning issued for all of SE Texas except near the Galveston Bay and the immediate Coastal areas.

My electric bill sure doesn't miss summer.

Hobby Airport also reported light snow in their observations. Records set at Bush and Hobby for the earliest snowfall (trace) in Houston.

Friend reported light snow in Beaumont for awhile......turning to sleet.

Light snow in Galveston

Is the sky likely to completely clear tonight in our region?

Impressive visible imagery of the snow on the ground across the Southern Rockies and Southern Plains.
