KV must be out in the backyard tonight making the most of the snow flurries that hit Houston tonight.

HOUSTON -- A bitter-cold Christmas Eve turned into a white Christmas, sort of, with light snow flurries falling in some parts of town, much to the delight of Houston-area children of all ages. Temperatures were in the 20s and 30s across the Houston area Friday morning, and they did not go much higher as the day progressed.

The 30 percent chance for snow came true for many areas south of Interstate 10. Local 2 viewers from around town, including Fort Bend County, Clear Lake, Mont Belvieu, and the Galleria area, reported seeing light snow flurries as early as 8 a.m.

At 9:30 a.m., snow flurries and ice pellets fell in southwest Houston along the Southwest Freeway at Gessner. By Friday afternoon, snow was still falling across town. The last time Houston actually had measurable snow fall was in 1989, when 1.7 inches of snow fell.
