I guess time will tell. Was it the large flaked heavy snow as we had in Houston? You are correct...it was 100 km/h not 100 mph. Later that month, two separate tornadoes struck the same Texas town in the same day. Another update as to freezing precipitation in Houston. Childhood memories of the times when my mother and I were growing up in Wisconsin were discussed. Thanks for your comment. Good luck! In my scanning of the article my poor brain did not catch the metric measurement. But residents of Amarillo, Texas, experienced a thunder snowstorm on Thursday, bringing early snow and a weather phenomenon to the Texas Panhandle. As to visiting Houston...July and August with a few surrounding months on either side...are not the best times to visit unless one really likes heat. There were advantages both ways. It made for some nice winter drives.
I know what you mean about southern people not knowing how to handle snow on their roadways...but then why should they be practiced? -- Accumulations may have amounted to only a dusting to an inch, but Texas celebrated a rare snowstorm on Thursday with super-sized enthusiasm. Looking at the link, you not only have snow but 100 mile an hour winds; power outages, etc. Tires were different when I was a child. Thanks for the comment.

Yes, I did.
-Tropical It becomes a holiday of sorts!
Keep warm and cozy up there! It would be fun to see snow at least once a year but unfortunately living in Houston we seldom get away in the winter heading north.
