I don't think you have anything to worry about. The ground temp is well above 32F, and 260 miles NW, we're CAVU, and 40F (low 35F) with a chance of snow tonight. The "snow" in Houston (IAH, but was it snowing at HOU?was almost unique caused by high humidity and the passage of a Low, with the subfreezing temperature above the surface generating the snowfall instead of the usual rain. What you don't want, freezing temp on the ground and warm and wet above, from whence cometh the dreaded and dreadful freezing rain, is not likely.
