We got snow for the first time since 1973 . I'll post pictures soon. :lol:

Yeah, its the first time I can remember Austin being too far NORTH to get any snow...lol Did see some sleet friday night south of Smithville though. Was the northern edge of that system that got you guys.

There has never been a white Christmas in Houston. This is some info that was in the Chronicle and I posted on my regular blog. This was obviously printed BEFORE December 24th of this year. :)

It was my first white Christmas. I grew up south of San Antonio and my wife grew up just north of Laredo. We were at her Dad's home over Christmas. Here's what it looked like Christmas Day -
