A rare blanket of snow greeted residents of South Texas on Christmas morning. The area got up to 13 inches of snow, breaking snowfall records.

"It's totally snowed over," Tawnya Evans, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, said Saturday morning. "It's unusual to see that here." "A bunch of people are excited because it's a white Christmas
Victoria saw it's first white Christmas in 86 years as more than 10 inches of snow fell. National Weather Service meteorologist Tony Merriman said the last time the area saw a measurable amount of snow was 1973, when one-tenth of an inch fell. That's the same amount that fell on Christmas 1918, he said.

In southeastern Texas, Brazoria County got 13 inches of snow and Edna in Jackson County had 10-12, beating its record of 4.5 inches in 1960.

3. That was my 19 year old daughter's remark....

when she saw the local high school's roof covered with snow! Heh! It was beautiful, and it is just now melting. Late last night, when it was still snowing and so quiet, I walked around outside. So pretty and sparkly, and definitely uncommon around here!
