Historic snowfalls don’t occur often in Houston, so when they do you want to capture memories of them. With that in mind, we’re offering up images posted to our feeds on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, along with others sent directly to us. For videos check our #housnow2025 Instagram story.
Snowmen were popular projects, but how successful you were depended on how much fell in your neighborhood. (Cindi Robinson Zamora)It helps to have “Houston” in your snow picture, for the unbelievers out there, even if you live in Pearland. (Barbara Leon)Some snowmen are less, um, dynamic. More chill, so to speak. (Chachi Ameller)Snowballs in the Heights. (Laura Zaras)Parks were popular, particularly those with hills. The hill at Miller Outdoor Theater was perfect for improvised snowboarding. (Rakesh Agrawal)Stryker and his humans are cold but happy. (Melanie Boyer)The more tropical the look, the more surreal the snow photos get. Lake Houston! (Sarah Alderman)Back in the city, snows makes the Heights looks peaceful. (James Michael Carlen)Even more serene: League City. (Lily Joy Berger)South Sheperd near Vermont got slushy. (Dwight Silverman)This palm tree near Shepherd at Welch was nearly killed off by the 2021 deep freeze but came roaring back. Will it survive 2025? (Dwight Silverman)
As Matt wrote in his post earlier today, we’ll get official numbers from National Weather Service tomorrow, but based on what we’ve seen in our social feeds, the amount that fell was all over the map. But in the absence of formal numbers, we’ll crowdsource some measures posted by folks sticking rulers in the snow. It’s a trend!

Temperatures are supposed to plummet again tonight, causing what’s melted Tuesday afternoon to freeze as ice. That will make travel even more hazardous than it was this morning. We’ll have an update on what comes next later tonight.

I saw quite a few people with snow boards today. What do you use them for all the other many years when there’s no snow? Can they be used on hills without snow? Do people travel with them to places with snow?

Colorado isn’t that far away.
Yes, we take them with us, better than renting at the location
Brown outs in Spring. Brief, but unpleasant. Maybe they’re just testing things?
Btw, thx for sharing the great pictures (w the brown out I got all nervous & lost my manners)

Love, love, love the pictures. Thanks.
