Crazy Houston Weather

Houston is notorious for crazy weather in the winter. One day it will be hot, the next day it will be cold. We just experienced a very extreme form of this a few days ago.

On Tuesday December 9th, it was in the mid 70's and muggy outside. It rained off and on all day and then had about a 20 minute downpour which flooded our backyard. Clara and Reese had a field day playing in the water.


The very next day, December 10th, we experienced a cold front that actually brought about a 1/2 inch of snow!!! It has been about 4 years since it has snowed here in Houston. Here are the girls playing out in the snow. Reese liked it, but wasn't thrilled about the cold. Clara enjoyed running around in the crunchy snow.
Clara has seen snow a few times, but this was Reese's 2nd time and the first time she actually played in it. The first time, she was only 8 months old.

It was so beautiful while it lasted. December 11th it was 55 and all the snow melted away.
