Sure, maybe we should play your games. Do you have an Xbox? Playstation? Nintendo? Or are you a PC gamer?
Did I say it was?
I didn't send you any reps.
I'm way older then even the Pac man generation or computers in schools I attended.... so no games ever. Sorry to disappoint. Thanks for seeing me much much younger. But keep the demeaning and this weather straw man you keep commenting going. It's boring to continue. That is playing a game to keep ongoing like a trace of snow possible overnight in May and quickly gone.
Plenty more to compare Houston's attributes with Chicago without weather quips and this another personal attempt to demean. No one is bothering with Houston's summers and heat.
These cities are both very American in many differing ways to point out other attributes that differ.
You may be happy to learn Chicago had 2 of its worst winters for snow in the late 70s when I first lived there. The anomaly was like the lake-effect snows generally on the east side and south of the Great Lakes .... reversed and Chicago became like Buffalo, NY.
Homes that were one-story and driveway house driveway house for the block on the Northwest side. Everyone had to put the snow on front lawns to clean driveways. So you could only see the peaks of the roofs from the streets and sides of homes up driveways.
Again, they were anomaly years. Not the norm and such winters then became less and less. Heavy snow years hug the East cost in he early 80s. Such is possible but not the norm.
Mean minimum for Chicago in May is 38.4 degrees. Mays are very pleasant in Chicago. Snow in May is rare, and when it happens it's only flurries. Houstonians have more to fear from hurricanes than Chicagoans have to fear from snow in May.
I also don't know why weather is being brought up. Neither Houston or Chicago is known for great weather. It's really pick your poison kind of thing. Chicago's 6 months of cold, and 6 months of pleasant of weather or Houston's 3 months of bipolar weather, 3 months of pleasant weather, and 6 months of heat, humidity and the risk of a hurricane?
Also seasons are lovely. From spring blooms, to fall colors, to winter snow. Houston has 2 seasons basically and Chicago has 4.
Houston’s heat usually lasts from June to September. This year, it got a head start in May but that’s not the norm. Houston does not deal with heat and humidity for 6 months. Chicago also does not deal with cold for 6 months.

Darn.

Is it also a game to abuse CAP LOCKS and over-analyze like you tend to do in many of your posts?

What Houston sees in winter is what Chicago sees during (early) spring and (late) fall.
Why in the world would someone from Houston choose "weather" as a point to brag about? Houston and environs just sustained one of the most damaging hurricanes in US history which also spawned a 1 in 500 year flood. I'm not exaggerating here. It was literally identified by scientists as a "1 in 500 year flood". With climate change, unfortunately these types of storms will become more frequent, rather than less. Houston has some good stuff going for it. "Weather" is not one of those things.

Why not?

As you've said yourself, the probabilities of such a storm are very low. But, I'm totally up for an encore: that storm was epic.

Really? A lot of people lost atheir houses and possessions and a few lost their lives. You really want an encore? I fear you may get and possibly sooner than later.
Colorado State University (respected authority on hurricane forecasting) has issued its forecast for the 2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season. The forecast calls for 14 named storms, 7 hurricanes and 3 major (Category 3+) hurricanes between the months of June and November. That's considered an elevated seasonal hurricane forecast.
