HOUSTON – Houston residents woke up to a frosty surprise as snow started falling across parts of the city, a rare occurrence for a region known more for its heat than its winter weather.
Viewers submitted photos of the winter precipitation on Click2Pins.
Reports came in from places like Katy, Conroe, Cypress, Bush Intercontinental Airport, Humble, and Kingwood among others.
KPRC 2 crews were at Bush Intercontinental Airport just before 10 p.m. Monday evening when snow began to come down.
