“Weather conditions are delaying the opening. Dangerous road conditions. Safety first,” FEMA spokeswoman Pam Saulsby said in an interview with the Houston Chronicle Friday morning.

The dusting of snow began late Thursday night, and weather reports show Houstonians woke up to a blanket of white Friday morning.

Social media is already exploded with memes, snowmen and photographs of the snowfall.
