There looked to be some isolated light rain/ winter mix showers on the radar to the west of Houston, TX, near Katy, Magnolia, Columbus, and Cypress, TX, during the early morning before sunrise. I saw some more light winter mix on the radar near Katy, TX during the evening. I don't know if any of the winter mix ever reached the ground, or not. I didn't hear about any winter precip, But I did see some winter precip on the radar. So I don't know if any of the area near Houston, TX got any winter precip, or not. There were no hints of winter precip, or winter storm warnings, or watches issued.

Thoughts: It has been really cold today in Houston and Katy, TX. It looks like Houston and Katy, TX may have had some light winter precip. Unfortunately I didn't see any. This is the first time that I can remember that the Houston, TX area has had temperatures barely get over 40 degrees since sometime during January of 2015, where Houston, TX was under the threat of winter precip/ freezing rain that never came. It is supposed to get into the upper 20's for tomorrow's low. I can't remember when the last time that happened. Probably sometime during early 2014, or 2015, in the Houston, TX area.
