... Snow falling across southeast Texas... .
A cold upper level low pressure system moving across
Texas has produced an area of light snow. Light snow fell early this morning
over parts of Washington... Burleson and Brazos counties. Light snow
redeveloped this afternoon as the upper low moved closer to the Houston area.
Although snowfall reports are incomplete... here are a few unofficial totals
through 830 PM from across southeast texas:
College Station - 1 inch Brenham - 1 inch Bedias - 0.5
inch Houston (se) - 0.2 inch NWS office - 0.2 inch
When did it snow last??? snow flurries fell across the
extreme northern parts of the region on March 7th 2008 but the last measurable
snow occurred on April 7th 2007 north of a Caldwell to Livingston line. One to
two inches of snow fell on that Saturday.
The last measurable snow to fall in the Houston area
fell on Christmas eve in 2004. Snow
amounts were a trace at Intercontinental Airport... but southern suburbs like
Pearland... Webster and Clear Lake received 2 to 3 inches of snow. Further
south a band of heavy snow affected Wharton... Fort Bend and Brazoria
counties.
For what it's Worth... the last land falling hurricane
on Galveston Island before Hurricane Ike was Hurricane Jerry in 1989. There
was 1.7 inches of snow on December 22 1989. Hurricane Alicia made landfall in
1983 and there were several days with snow flurries in December of 1983. Just
a coincidence... maybe... then again who knows?
Enjoy the snow tonight because it will melt quickly on
Thursday morning as temperatures warm into the lower 50s. Long range forecasts
do not support additional snow for the next seven to ten days.
