Re: Cold weather on the way next week maybe wintry precip too!?

I had predicted 31-24 Saints. Now, I'll work a miracle for sleetstorm. I'll see if I can get him some sleet for next Friday morning. ;-) If the Saints can win the superbowl, then frozen precip can reach Houston. Models should now have a pretty good handle on things. I'll check in tomorrow after the...

Great Day Of Partying

What a perfect day. Weeks after clouds and rain, the Sun came out finally. No, it was not a UFO full of Prawns (from the movie District 9). It was a party for a good cause. Got see old friends and meet many new people. The party was full of beautiful people. Quite crowded. :twisted: :mrgreen: 8-) So...

Re: Houston Weather Rewind

A look back at 2008. 2008 is a very memorable year for the Houston area because of Hurricane Ike. Also, the Texas coast was hit by three tropical systems, Dolly, Edouard, and Ike. They were within a two month period. The last time three tropical cyclones hit Texas was in 1989. January-A wet start to...

Houston Weather Rewind

Every year, there is are multiple interesting weather events. I would like to do Houston weather reviews from the past. Let's start with 1989. 1989 stands out well for me. It is the year when I was getting interested in weather after Hurricane Gilbert came. 1989 starts out dry due to La Nina. Januar...
