The news channels were saying 1 to 3 inches of snow - a very rare event along coastal Texas. Ice would be part of the mix as well. The schools closed. Everyone got ready. And then...
Nothing.
All we got was a thin coat of ice on cars parked outside. Other than that, nothing. The snow didn't happen until you looked much farther north, around College Station and beyond. The City of Houston had much more ice. But here in Friendswood, literally nothing. Now FISD will have to "pay" for this un-necessary day off in some manner: an extra day, a few minutes longer of school each day, something.
On the plus side, we did get to sleep in.
