3 to 5 inches! Holy Snowman, Batman!
I'm still waiting for somebody from LA to ring a bell. Rain has been falling over the Gulf all day south of New Orleans, but it looks like it's crossing the coast now. Also some coming in from the west around Lake Charles. Yippeeee! I'm next. Please, please....

Nice pics Redder! I love those big wet flakes.....

Thanks,

The snow is still coming down so I'll post a few more latter this evening.

We're also having thunder and lightning

[cajungal]

Send some of that white stuff to southeast Louisiana right now!!!!!!!! I remember when I was 13 and that was the last time it snowed here. My brother and I made a snowman in the backyard topped off with a SAINTS baseball cap.

Corpusbreeze,

Enjoy the snow and have a terrific Holiday.

[donsutherland1]

Great photos, Redder.

[weatherlover427]

Congratulations, you guys deserve it. Merry Christmas to you all!

[southerngale]

Thanks for sharing the pics...awesome!!

[cctxhurricanewatcher]

I'm guessing as of 11PM we have 2 inches on the ground in my part of Corpus.

I'll try to post some pictures as soon as I figure out how to do it. I'll get some more right at sunrise.

I have measured over 4 inches so far and it is still coming down. Made a South Texas snowman, and used boogie boards to go down a hill. What a night to remember!
