Snow is a rare occurence in Southeast TX particularly in Houston area. They say it happens once in 5 years. True enough, since we got here in 2001, we have experienced snow twice so far. Once in 2004 (Christmas Eve-Christmas Day) and now again in 2009. Base on records though, we had snow last year but we didn’t get enough accumulation in our area that time.
Everyone has been buzzing about the snow since Wednesday. Kids and adults alike were excitedly waiting for it. And when it came on Friday around noon time, I guess almost everyone went out to check the snow and take pictures. In our street, almost everyone who was at home went out to take pictures of their houses with the roofs and yard covered in about an inch of snow. 
The kids were dismissed early from school and they all had fun playing on the snow. It wasn’t enough to make snow angels nor was it easy to make snowman but it was still a treat for them. Check out the photo gallery for the kids’ pictures.
