Houston is the fourth largest city in the country and is in Harris County, the third most populated county in the US. In spite of those impressive numbers and other factors like the world famous Medical Center, home to some of the best hospitals in the world, Houston is often overlooked for it’s more famous cousin to the north, Dallas (we need a JR and the Ewing’s)
As I sit here tonight watching all the networks and cable channels interviewing Houston and Harris County officials about the impending snow storm...yes I said snow storm, I marvel at what it takes to put Houston on the front page...snow!
This will be the third year in a row that we will have a measurable snowfall, they are calling for 1 to 3 inches. I know that isn’t anything compared to what has been sweeping across the mid-section of the US and pounding the northeast, and we haven’t had ANYTHING, yet the POSSBILITY has excited the media to chronicle this rarest of events...for southeast Texas anyway.
The highways are clearing, the schools have announced their closing for tomorrow and the media are restlessly cruising the city looking for that first snow flake.
Boy...it better snow or there will be a lot of disappointed folks.
Standby for the results.
