The last time snow graced Houston was on February 15, 2021, when one inch was measured during a significant winter storm that paralyzed much of Texas. The city’s all-time record for snowfall occurred in February 1895, with a staggering 20 inches over two days — 19 inches on February 14 and an additional inch on February 15.

Hopefully you’re ready for the arctic blast or will get ready Friday or Saturday. After a breezy day Friday with slightly above average temperatures and a few drizzles, cooler winds will kick in Saturday morning.

After a mild Thursday, an arctic blast of extreme cold will arrive in parts of Colorado on Friday afternoon. According to Pinpoint Weather Meteorologist Alden German, snow chances could start to affect the Friday evening commute and the below-freezing temperatures are expected to last for several days in a row.
