Residents in Houston experienced a rare treat early Tuesday morning as snow and sleet fell across parts of the city, creating brief wintry landscapes.
In one video, light snow and sleet are seen falling, though the snow quickly melted upon contact with the ground, creating patches of slush.
Another video captured the Southbound North Freeway feeder road near West Road, where snow could be seen accumulating lightly on the roadway, though conditions remained slushy.
A third video showed Main Street and Texas Avenue lightly blanketed in snow. The ground was partially covered in slush, creating a rare winter sight for Houston, a city unaccustomed to such weather.
While the snow did not stick for long, it was enough to delight locals and cause minor disruptions on roadways. Authorities have urged drivers to exercise caution due to potential slick conditions caused by the slush.
Meteorologists noted this rare event was due to a unique convergence of cold air and precipitation over the region. No major incidents or injuries have been reported related to the weather.
