Is Houston About to Become a Winter Wonderland?
Hold Your Horses, Snow Lovers
Let's talk about the elephant in the room, or should I say, the snowflake in the desert? Houston and snow are like oil and water, fire and ice, or Beyoncé and country music – they just don't mix. But every year, like clockwork, the rumor mill starts churning out tales of impending snowstorms in the Bayou City. So, is there any truth to these frosty fables?
The Great Houston Snow Debate
The short answer is: probably not. Houston is known for its sweltering summers and mild winters. Snow is about as likely to fall in Houston as a herd of kangaroos taking over downtown. But hey, stranger things have happened. Remember that time a meteor nearly wiped us out? Okay, maybe not that strange.
However, climate change is a real thing, and weather patterns are becoming increasingly unpredictable. So, while the odds of a white Christmas in Houston are slimmer than a Kardashian with a Ph.D., it's not entirely impossible. But let's be honest, if it does happen, it'll probably be a dusting at best. Enough to make a snowman the size of a golf ball, but not enough to cancel school.
How to Prepare for a Houston Snowpocalypse (Just in Case)
- Invest in a good pair of flip-flops: Because even if it's snowing, the ground will still be hot.
- Learn to surf: You never know when you might need to catch a wave on those icy streets.
- Stock up on sunscreen: Because even in a snowstorm, Houston's sun can be brutal.
- Practice your penguin impression: You'll need something to do while you're waiting for the snow to melt.
- Don't panic: Remember, this is Houston. We're tough. We can handle anything, even a little snow.
So, while we can dream of building snowmen and having epic snowball fights in our backyard, let's keep our expectations in check. But hey, if you do see snow falling in Houston, snap a pic and tag us! We’ll be the first ones to admit we were wrong.
