On December 8, 2015 the residents of Houston woke up to another beautiful snowfall that covered the town.
At this time of the year it seemed more special because Christmas is just around the corner. For the children, Santa will have snow to land his reindeer and sled on, there will be snowball fights, kids building their snowmen or snow forts to hide in.
For the adults, families, out comes the downhill and cross country skis, snowboards, snowshoes, snowmobiles and an ice auger for drilling a hole in the ice to catch that cold water whopper of a trout.
