Houston Winter Storm 2025: Images show historic snowfall across Southeast Texas

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — It’s a snow day across Southeast Texas!

A winter storm brought snow and freezing rain to the greater Houston area.

The National Weather Service is predicting 3 to 6 inches of snow and sleet accumulations south of I-10 with locally higher amounts. North of I-10 accumulations appear to be more in the 1-3″ range with locally higher amounts. Ice accumulations from freezing rain could measure up to a tenth of an inch, mainly in our coastal counties.

From snowboarding in the park to building snowmen in the yard, ABC13 viewers shared photos of their snowy adventures. You can scroll through them here.

Although it is fun to play in the snow, it is important to be aware of the weather. City leaders say people should be prepared to sit for 48 hours.

If you must travel, stay well away from other vehicles and never ride next to someone because you do not know their driving skills or if their vehicle will spin out.

Stay below 30 mph in snow and 15 mph on ice, but this is a rule of thumb. You may need to drive even slower.

Don’t over rev your engine and make sure you brake gradually and very early. You can slide further if you wait until the last moment to brake at an intersection. Let off the gas early, let the vehicle coast to a stop, and carefully apply your brakes.

And for a final tip, if your vehicle starts to slide, ease off the accelerator or brakes. Steer in the direction of the skid until you have regained traction. Then straighten your vehicle.
