Our poor weathermen had to go the whole hurricane season without one real threat.  That must be as painful as a gossip magazine going a whole month without a dying celebrity.  Global warming failed to produce even an average storm season this year.

BUT!  Finally! The spotlight deprived atmospheric prognosticators got to take center stage on the nightly news in Houston.  It wasn’t quite “Day After Tomorrow” stile apocalypse but damm it, there was going to be snow in Houston.

For days we were shown storm projections, historical statistics and arms waving frantically in front of a blue screen.  Then . . . Christmas came early for the weather departments.  It was real snow, not just the sleet and ice chips we usually get.  This picture was taken in Pearland, a little SW of Houston.  It snowed most of the day were we live but it didn’t really accumulate.  Farther south of us, the perfect storm erupted, they got close to 4 inches.  Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal, were standing by but we were able to make it through the event without them.
