All Houston airports will reopen Wednesday after shutting down on Jan. 21 as a winter storm barreled through South Texas.

Houston is preparing for a historic winter storm expected to bring up to 6 inches of snow, a rare event not seen in decades.

A rare, historic snowfall blanketed parts of the southern U.S. on Tuesday, allowing residents to play in the rather unusual weather. Families went snow tubing in Houston. People made snowballs and snow angels. People were even seen skiing on Bourbon Street.
