Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
From Central Texas on down to north of Houston, icy conditions and snow hit parts of the state Sunday forcing some Monday school closings in districts to our north and delayed openings in others including Lone Star College. Several counties, including Montgomery County, remained under a winter weather advisory through 6 a.m. Monday.
It wasn't a winter wonderland experience for everyone as cars iced over and trucks slid off roadways.
There were reports of sleet and a snow/sleet mix in The Woodlands and Tomball areas. The rest of us had to content ourselves with cold temperatures, a crisp wind and almost constant rain through Sunday.
Any hopes of Houston ISD students getting a snow day were dashed Sunday night as the district announced it would be business as usual
Monday's Houston area weather was predicted to be between 34 and 45 degrees — although by Thursday a high of 70 degrees was predicted. Then we'll drop into several days of highes in the 60s with lows no lower than 41.
If you weren't out in it, here are some scenes from the snowier locations about the state:





Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
