The last time snow graced Houston was on February 15, 2021, when one inch was measured during a significant winter storm that paralyzed much of Texas. The city’s all-time record for snowfall occurred in February 1895, with a staggering 20 inches over two days — 19 inches on February 14 and an additional inch on February 15.

Houston-area officials are urging caution among residents as the second arctic front of 2025 is set to bring a hard freeze and chances of wintery precipitation across the region starting on Jan. 20.

The Houston area is seeing an increasing chance that a mix of wintry precipitation—including snow—is headed in its direction. Space City Weather meteorologist Eric Berger said there is a growing possibility (about a 50-50 chance) of snow or sleet beginning next Monday night and Tuesday.

Models indicate the likelihood of another arctic blast early next week which will likely bring the coldest air so far this season and the coldest air in about one year! We will likely go under a "COLD WEATHER ADVISORY" for early next week.

Temperatures are expected to dip below freezing on Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service. There also is a chance of freezing rain, sleet or snow early next week.
