Houston Snow: A Hilarious Look at a Rare Occurrence
Ah, Houston, Texas. The land of scorching summers, steaming cups of sweet tea, and...snow?
Hold your horses, partner, because snow in Houston is about as common as a rhinestone cowboy hat in Antarctica.
The Skinny on Houston Snowfall
Measurable snow? That's a rodeo you only get to see every few years, and even then, it's usually a measly dusting that melts faster than a popsicle on a Fourth of July sidewalk.
Official records say Houston averages a measly 0.1 inches of snow a year. That's practically nothing! You'd have better luck building a snowman out of mashed potatoes.
When Houston Does a Snow Dance (and Usually Trips Over Its Boots)
The last time Houston saw a decent snowfall was back in December 2017, with a whole whopping 0.7 inches. The city went nuts! Bread shelves were cleared faster than you can say "snowball fight," and folks were out in their pajamas frolicking in the "winter wonderland." But that wonderland melted faster than a politician's promise, leaving behind nothing but a damp memory.
So, Should You Pack Your Snowboots for Houston?
Probably not. Unless you plan on using them for an impromptu rain boot substitute (hey, it happens!), you're better off leaving them at home.
But hey, if you do get caught in a surprise Houston snow flurry, embrace the chaos! Take a picture, post it online with the hashtag #HoustonSnowpocalypse, and join the celebration of this rare and hilarious event.
Just remember, in Houston, the only thing more surprising than snow is the fact that it occasionally sticks around long enough to make a snowball.
