In 1980, it actually snowed in Houston 

February 2, 1980 Saturday was my quinceañera my 15th birthday and I remember it was so cold so beautiful and seeing snow everywhere ... And now I am 55 years old

I remember this , also it snowed in 2008 . I remember 2008 because I spent the summer in Alaska that year bought a Silverado Duramax 4x4 there drove it back to Houston and it was the first time I drove it in snow . Moved to Alaska in the summer of 2009 and lived in Alaska for 12 years and of course drove that truck in the snow every winter up there . 2020 2021 I was in Alaska and seen the news about the crazy cold . I missed that and it looked bad .

I lived in Houston when it snowed in 1959 or 1960. Still have photos of our yard covered in white. Very rare.

I still have some of it in my freezer

Got to love Texas we get excited about 1.2 inches of snow. 🤣😂

And in 2021, it REEAAALLY snowed in Houston

wow i remember this, we lived in the heights and i went to school at Baptist temple. i was 6 and i remember my mom putting socks on my hands to play with the snow. lol it would not stick together for me to make snowballs.

Deborah Wigley you will be missed on ABC13 thank you for sharing your last day with us and for that at the end she dropped the mic

I was living in baytown and i remember my car was covered in snow, I think around 2008 or 2009.

People spoke so elegantly back then.♥️

That was the year I was born in Houston... I live north of Houston now.

Seeing the north freeway with only two lanes is insane

Wooo! Snow Death Meeting Canada '80 was the best Snow Death Meeting of all time!

I came to Houston from Kansas in 1980 for school. That December I flew to NYC where I spent Christmas and brought in New Year 1981. I flew home to Kansas from NYC then rode a GREYHOUND bus back to Houston. From Centerville to Houston is normally about a (2) hour drive. Because of a *snow flurry*, the ride took (4) hours. I had spent my holidays walking through INCHES of snow and ice, temps around (20) degrees. To come back to Houston in temps of (40) and people afraid to drive because of light *dusting* of snow was laughable! In 2024, locals STILL make me laugh about the weather. 😂

Yep I remember that day...

I remember when this happened. I was 5 and went outside to get on my sled. lol

The cold weather brought tragedy and death then they show the kids playing awww how sweet. You go back 40 years and they are still pushing fear.

Its snowed in 1973,11976, 1982,83,85,89,96,2004 so yeah don't act excited its snowed before!

l was born in '72. Don't remember the 1980 snow, but remember the nasty 1980 heatwave Houston had.

I was born eleven years after this..ooo

Groundhog Day to add insult to injury.

I hate that I was born in 87 instead of like 79 or something because I would have liked to enjoy the 80s especially in Houston. But at least I got to enjoy the 90s , Best years for movies then were like 93,95-97. Didn't Houston have like a really harsh ice cold storm one day in like 91 or 92? I was like 4 I think and I remember it getting super cold with lots of snow and we had icicles forming everywhere. I remember our whole neighborhood looked like a winter wonderland and quiet with no wind and you could hear all the ice gently crackle throughout the day

It snowed for 4 days in February 1973 also December 20, 1989 it also snowed for 3 days. Of course it shut down Houston roads

Deborah Wrigley is still reporting for KTRK, but I remember the newscasters on the set too ! What happened to them ?

I was 12 then

It actually snowed in 1980? No way!!!!! Honestly though, we've had snow more often, it snowed 3-4+ times in the 80's and it's snowed around 50 or so times in the last 150 years so it's not that unusual.

The same year i was born.

That really cute

It snowed in 78 and 82 too I have pictures

where is Dave Ward?

🤔🤔 looks familiar

Debra was fine in her day..

I have pictures of this day

My mom told me about this the other day and I didn't believe her lol

I wanna move to Houston.

First snow of the year. You mean only snow in years 😂

i was there

I was 4

It snowed in 84..

Now it snows every year or two. Lots of climate deniers here. These people are really shocked, putting snowballs in the freezer, etc. No one is surprised to have roads iced for 3 days now every other winter, yet it’s not discussed.

I moved from buffalo less than a year ago i laughed at people freaking out i heard it snowed a year or so ago

Ahh, Debra Wrigly, a face made for radio…
