Speaker 1 (00:02):
Sunday ninety nine point one, Houston's Best Variety of the eighties,
nineties and Today Day and in the Morning and producer
Anthony and the Three Things You Need to Know to
get your Wednesday, January twenty second started extreme cold warning
until nine.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We're almost there.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
We just had what they told us was going to happen,
the Great refreeze. Overnight temperatures dropped into the low twenties,
the teens in Crosby.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
We've lived at sixteen.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Still in Crosby anyway, all that melted snow creating a
sheet of ice for many areas. Stay off the roads
until lunchtime probably be the best to give it a
chance to melt. Fifty two years nineteen seventy three, last
time we had this much snow six inches.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Falling in Beaumont, Houston.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
We had four inches, Liberty three inches, Livingstone two inches.
Bay City College Station had less than an inch, but
still got to see the snow. School still closed today
and as the ice remains, and both airports are going
to be opening at nine.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Now, what's next?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Well, the potential for busted water pipes, residential city buildings,
office buildings, be aware, and space heaters. Yeah, because tonight
we're gonna go down into the twenties again, so super
cold once again until we get the warm up by
the weekend. Amazon is in the midst of a huge
space heater recall the Vornado VH two whole room heaters.
(01:25):
They're just these little heaters that could cause electric shock
and leading to a fire hazard. They've got July twenty
four or August twenty four date codes on them. So again,
the Vornado or Vernado VH two whole room heating systems,
they're just these little plastic white heaters from Amazon and
(01:46):
Weather Today. Like I said, we do have that extreme
cold warning until nine, gonna warm up to forty eight
real sunny.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Right now, it's super cold.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
It's twenty three in Uptown sixteen For you guys in
Crosby and you're up to date on sunny, tell me
something good brought to us by our friends at Goodwill Houston.
I love this fun and not fun in the sun,
fun in the snow and Houston firefighters had a friendly
snowball fight yesterday. They posted it on their socials, letting
(02:16):
off some steam and we want to thank all of
our first responders for being at the ready in this
extreme weather event. Remember help them out, stay off the
icy roads until.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Noon when the big thaw is underway.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Producer Anthony Dane Marty Grass just around the corner, and
there's a fun street now in stock, just in time
for the festivities. It's Bluebell and they've released their Marty
graw King Cake flavor in select stores. Had a Fat
Tuesday coming at March fourth. It's a cinnamon cake flavored
ice cream including pastry pieces and a colorful cream cheese
squirrel with candy sprinkles. But Texan's hoping to stock up
(02:53):
on the flavor might be out of luck, at least
for now. They say it's now only in select markets,
but reports say it's only in their Louisiana stores now.
But if you follow their previous release schedule, it's eventually
going to make its way here to Texas. But if
the craving has already hit and you just got to
have it, you can actually find the seasonal Mardi Groff
flavor now listed as one of the half gallons that
Bluebell can ship nationwide. If the hankering is there, just
(03:15):
head over to Bluebell dot com.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That is so fun And in Houston, we don't have
sleds because we never have snow, well, not like yesterday.
So with all these hills covered in snow, there's something
in us that wants us to slide down them. It's
so true, right, So what do you use? Well, you
guys were so innovative. Whatever you have, tires, cardboard, sleds.
(03:39):
I saw one lady sledding down in an open suitcase, crates,
whatever it is. And you've got to share your pictures
of what your kids and you use to slide down
those snow covered I saw.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
A trash bag. I was like, hey, it is a
great idea too.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yeah, you have to send them, just share them with
us at sunny ninety nine dot com and Anthony, we
should have a prize for the most innovative.
