Island Snow - Port Aransas - Christmas 2004

On Christmas Eve 2004, it began to snow. Snow, here on our tiny south Texas island home. It had been over 50 years since we had had more than even a trace of snow and we had about 5" in a twelve hour period. And to top it off, a white Christmas was way too hard to believe.
Oddly enough, non islanders complained about something that we natives took as a miracle.
My background music is 'Winter Holiday' performed by the Port Aransas high school band.

I played this for the perk kids at school a couple of weeks ago- they were in awe and made me play it over and over... Most of them have never seen snow... Thanks for preserving a special moment in port a history!

I remember that year. It was a trip. I spent my youth in North TX waiting for a white Christmas, and the last year in Port A of all places, I get one. Thanks for the upload.

Thanks for this video. I love Port A. I vacation there every year for almost my whole life. Never thought it would be under snow!

This is amazing. I was stationed there for 4 yrs from 98 to 02. I can't believe that there was that much snow. WOW!

This was my last winter in PA. I loved being at Mama's Pizzeria watching the snow fall. I think I got to make the first snowman. What a trip! Miss you guys.

Have a Happy Holiday Season.
