I didn't put this up when I was doing all the old pictures last week - this house presumably belonged to some of my dad's relatives, and it is labeled, "Our big snow - Jan 23, 1948 - 1.8 in of snow." Honestly, if they hadn't said there was snow there I don't think I'd've noticed!

(You have to bear in mind that Port Arthur is right on the coast, like Galveston, and any snowfall at all there is a big deal.)
