Maggie Valley Steve Posted Wednesday at 02:25 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:25 PM I want to share this here in our group. This Winter Storm crushed records! My morning email from my buddy Jeff Lindner: Yesterday, January 21, 2025 resulted in one of the most significant and historic snow events along the US Gulf coast since 1895. Heavy snow occurred from the Houston metro area along the entire Gulf coast to FL. Data is still being complied to determine the historical context of this event but some areas in Louisiana and Florida have confirmed the exceedance of their all-time record snow amounts. In Addition to the snow, temperatures this morning across this snowpack have fallen to “all-time” records many of which were held from 1899. The numbers listed below are preliminary and subject to change when full data sets are examined. The 1.2 inches of snow recorded at BUSH IAH did not break the record of 3.0 inches from 1960. Note snowfall totals can varying greatly over short distances. Southeast Texas Snowfall Totals: LaPorte: 6.0 Baytown: 5.5 Beaumont: 5.2 Anahuac: 5.0 Dayton: 5.0 Stafford: 4.5 Crosby: 4.5 Cove: 4.5 Al Lago: 4.2 Deer Park: 4.0 Richmond: 4.0 Cleveland: 4.0 Spring Branch: 3.0 South Houston: 3.0 Bellaire: 3.0 Santa Fe: 3.0 Hobby Airport: 3.0 Santa Fe: 3.0 Pearland: 3.0 Dickinson: 3.2 West University: 3.3 Conroe: 2.5 Brookshire: 2.5 Jersey Village: 2.5 Bunker Hill Village: 2.9 Cat Spring: 2.0 Bellville: 2.0 Lake Jackson: 2.0 San Leon: 2.0 Livingston: 2.0 BUSH IAH: 1.2 Tomball: 1.5 Brenham: 1.0 Galveston Island: 1.0 Other Snowfall Totals: Chalmette: 11.0 Metairie: 10.0 New Orleans: 9.8 (broke all-time record of 8.2 from 1895) Lafayette: 9.5 Milton, FL: 8.8 (broke the FL state all-time record of 4.0 inches in 1954) Biloxi: 7.8 Baton Rouge: 7.6 Mobil: 7.5 Orange Beach: 6.5 Lake Charles: 6.0 Pensacola: 5.0 Historic Low Temperatures (so far this morning): New Iberia, LA: 1 (shatters all-time record of 9 from 1962) Lafayette, LA: 4 (broke all-time record of 6 from 1899) Lake Charles: 6 (all-time record is 3 from 1899) Beaumont: 8 (broke all-time record of 10 from 1906) Jeff Lindner Director Hydrologic Operations Division/Meteorologist Harris County Flood Control District 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
