Southeast Texas Climate Data
--Valentine's Day-- |
|
On Valentine's Day...temperatures can vary greatly. Low temperatures
can fall into the teens while high temperatures can soar into the lower
80s. One constant for the holiday, however, is the frequency of
precipitation. A trace of rain or more falls about once every three
years in College Station and Galveston, and almost every other year in
Houston. Subfreezing temperatures occur about once every nine years in
the College Station area and once every twelve years in the Houston area.
Although the coast is usually spared sub-freezing temperatures by mid-
February...an occasional cold spell is still possible.
The worst snowstorm to ever affect the upper Texas coastal plain
occurred February 12-15, 1895. Ten to as much as twenty inches of snow
fell from central Brazoria county to northern Orange county. Houston
reported 20 inches of snow on February 14-15th while Galveston reported
15 inches. On February 12-13th, 1960, another 2 to 4 inches of snow
affected the area. Six of the ten largest snowfalls to affect the Houston
area have occurred in mid-February.
