Houston missed the worst of the winter weather, but still saw a little sleet and ice.
Parts of Southeast Texas saw light ice and sleet accumulation following the winter weather that pushed into the state over the weekend, though much of the Houston area avoided any significant buildup, according to the National Weather Service.
So how much sleet and ice did parts of the region get on Sunday?
College Station recorded the highest total, picking up a quarter of an inch of freezing rain and sleet, Meteorologist Chita Craft said during KHOU 11 Morning News on Monday. Katy reported about one-tenth of an inch. That’s where drivers were seen slipping and sliding. That includes the big rig we showed you that was stuck on the Katy Freeway connector ramp to the Grand Parkway.
Splendora received two-tenths of an inch and Seven Oaks, which is in Polk County, saw about one-tenth of an inch. Patton Village measured six-hundredths of an inch, while Cypress saw about one-hundredth of an inch.
Several parts of town saw a trace of ice or sleet. That includes Pecan Grove, Humble, Shenandoah, Wharton, Spring, and Tomball.
Overall, the totals were relatively good news, with much of Southeast Texas escaping accumulation altogether.
Throughout our winter weather, KHOU 11 will be with you, on TV, on our mobile app, and on KHOU 11+.
