On Friday December 4th we had snow in Houston. If you are used to Sakhalin or even the wet snow in the UK and NL it was really nothing to write home about, although for a little while it almost looked real, but Houston went into overdrive.
On TV the event was described a 'Winter Storm '09' and on the forum of our neigborhood kids group tips where exchanged such as leaving your tap running such that your plumping would not freeze (it never went below +1 C), and how to drive with black ice on the roads (Ice? Where?). The day care closed at 11 am and my office send everyone home at noon because the where expecting traffic chaos. In suburbia some people managed to make a 20 cm snow man. That was not feasible by a long shot with the wet stuff we had.
Anyway - It snowed in the evening so it stayed till early the next morning.......how do you mean you don't see it?!?! Do you not see the fine white dusting on the roof?!? Safe to say we did not bother getting our winter gear out. BUT we did have a fun day and finally got more into the holiday mood.
