UNBELIEVABLE!
Lots of records will be smashed if this happens...

Earliest ever recorded snow fall in SETX.

First time in recorded history of back to back years with MEASURABLE snow falls.

The record low temperature tonight will probably be crushed if their is a snow blanket and the sky clears, temperatures could be in the low 20's tomorrow morning, I think the record for Houston was 27 and they are predicting 22 degrees tonight with a snow blanket driving temperatures down.

Tomorrow morning could be a morning that the kids and adults around here remember for a long time.
Saturday morning playing in the snow with the family, priceless memories!
