Snow in South east texas!!

Its not a big deal to most, but it rarely snows this much around here. I'm in the south east side of houston and we got about 3 inches over about 3-4 hours. I have some pics and will post them up when I get a chance. People are on every corner building snow men and throwing snow *****. The last time it snowed was on christmas eve 04. This is a lot more though.

Pretty amazing. I was down there in Sugar Land when it snowed in 04. Everyone was going crazy then.

It was snowing pretty good here in navasota, bout 70miles north of houston 20 miles south of college station. My truck looked really cool all snowy/icey. There was a fatal accident on the highway because of it which sucked. But other then that it was all good. It was cool being able to drive around and see everything white. Im praying for no school tomorrow because it would delay my college english final! The upside of being in college classes while in highschool in a town where it never ever snows.

It started snowing in Beaumont but not enough to cover the ground yet. Maybe we'll get to build snowmen in the morning. I thought moving down here would get me away from the snow. I guess not.

You need to move further north to get more practice cause your snow man sucks!

Update from Beaumont, it snowed enough to build snowmen. I don't have my camera so I can't get a picture but it's nothing special.
