Madelyn Carrillo

Bellaire resident Madelyn Carrillo showed off her throwing skills and enjoyed pelting her dad with snow a little too much. 

On Feb. 15 and 16, all of Houston woke up to snow and ice. Roads were closed. School was canceled. Everyone who could stay home did.

With more than a million households in Houston without power, heat, and water during the hard freeze, there were many difficult moments and dangerous situations. Fortunately, there was also fun for snow-newbie residents who, when not huddled around a fire, made a memorable day of it. We hope you enjoy their photos.
