While Snow Wrecks Havoc in Texas...

Texas is known for many things but snowstorm is certainly not one of them. Winter storm Uri was a major coast-to-coast storm that spread snowfall and damaging ice all over the United States including eighty percent of Texas. While millions of people have been living without electricity, water or heat with temperatures falling to below -10C (14F) after the winter storm tore through the state, many also took the opportunity to enjoy the natural wonder rarely seen in Texas. It was challenging for me and my family without power or internet access for a couple of days, but I was able to snap a few photos around the nearby neighborhoods of people enjoying the snow. It is rare to have snow in Houston area, but the mother of all snows did come on Valentine's Day in 1895. Houston was hit with 20 inches of snow on Feb. 14 and 15 that year.

Stay warm and stay safe.
