I was stuck at IAH for last year's snowstorm and am glad I'll be flying through IAH on Saturday after whatever fun unfolds on Friday.
When a 1 in 30 year storm hits in two consecutive years, I suppose it's time to change the "30 year storm" mantra and/or play the lottery.
Well, they seem to come closely spaced, then disappear. 87 and 89 were pretty cold and snowy by Houston standards. I think our thermometer in Spring read 7 degrees at one point one of those winters. I also remember snow remaining on the yard for several days. Then there was nothing until recently. We had two or three days in the 90s with flurries, but nothing stuck.
ETA - We also got walloped by an ice storm at some point in the 90s. I don't recall exactly when, but do recall pine tree branches turning into missiles.
