When I was in 6th grade we had snow in Houston. It was a serious snowfall. Everything shut down and we kids all went out to play in it. It was great.

In the winter of 1973, we got three snow storms in February.

This was in Houston.

It was about 1961 when I first saw snow in Houston, to a Houston kid it was magical, in 1972 I was stationed in Washington state and was surprised to learn in a phone call that it snowed again in Houston, I was sorry I was missing it.

Our banana tree in Houston had produced bananas but I think one of those cold times killed it, I forget what year.

TX - in college, it snowed about 3”. My bf’s friends kidnapped me and carried me out of class. Thankfully, the prof thought it was so funny she dismissed class. We put a maybe 30” snowman on the top of bf’s Pacer and drove through campus letting it get pelted with snow balls. We remember the snow days because they were so far between and we always made the best of them.
