No, no, no. Houston is not going to get hit by a ‘snow bomb’ in two weeks
In brief: In today’s post we discuss the rumors about a “snow bomb” hitting Houston around Valentine’s Day (you will be shocked to learn the rumors are not true). We also discuss our moderating temperatures this week, and what looks to be a splendid weekend ahead.
Gulf coast “snow bomb”
Matt and I began to receive some messages on Saturday morning about the potential for the greater Houston region to receive another Arctic blast around Valentine’s Day. The questions kept coming on Sunday, along the lines of, “rumors are circulating …” about the threat of a major snowfall in the region. We were scratching our heads because there were no valid indications of such an occurrence.
Nevertheless we did a little digging. It was pretty clear from the outset what precipitated the concerns. A single run of the GFS model, the 06z output on Saturday morning (publicly available about 5 am CT, usually) showed a ridiculous amount of snowfall across the Houston area, like two feet. It would set records. Such an event would be historic. But of course there was no real reason to believe a model output that was forecasting an event two weeks away. That is the “silly season” range of model output, and the US-based GFS model is notoriously bad with these kinds of things. And as one might expect, by the very next run, this snowfall was completely gone. Poof!
This, alone, would not have been enough to spark questions. But then my wife stumbled across this post on Facebook later on Saturday morning. Note that it contains a double dose of dumb because the “author” uses the “Houston, we have a problem” cliche.

This nonsense, therefore, came from a deadly duo in today’s day and age when it comes to weather information. First you need a single model run showing a long-range forecast more than 10 days out. Then you need a social mediarologist to spread the hype. It’s a pretty unstoppable combination. But as a consumer there are a couple of things you can do to combat this. First of all, check to see how far out the forecast is. If it’s 10 days or greater, be super wary. If it’s forecasting an extreme event, be super super wary. And if the post uses the #fblifestyle hashtag, you can have a good laugh because this is not a serious person.
Really, all you need to do is check Space City Weather. If there is a credible chance of a major winter storm in Houston, we’ll be talking about the possibility. We promise.
Monday
Temperatures this morning have bottomed out at about 40 degrees, and we are already seeing a southerly flow that will warm us up nicely this afternoon. Expect highs of about 70 degrees. We also will see increasing cloud cover as atmospheric moisture levels ramp up. As a result low temperatures tonight will only briefly drop below 60 degrees.

Tuesday
This will be a mostly cloudy and warm day, with high temperatures generally in the low 70s along with southerly winds. We also will see a chance of light showers during the daytime. By late afternoon, and during the evening hours, a front will approach the area and we may see a line of broken showers and a few thunderstorms. These will persist until around midnight or perhaps a bit later down by the coast. Rains will probably be hit or miss, with some locations picking up a trace of rain and other areas one-half inch or more. Temperatures will start falling after midnight.
Wednesday and Thursday
These will be fine, sunny days with highs in the low- to mid-60s and overnight lows in the low- to mid-40s. Wednesday may be a bit breezy.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
If you have outdoor plans scheduled for this weekend, you’re in lucky. We should see mostly sunny skies on Friday and Saturday, with a few clouds returning by Sunday. Highs will be in the low- to mid-70s through the weekend, with overnight lows in the 40s and 50s. It looks positively gorgeous for any outdoor activities.

Next week
The first half of next week looks to be on the warm-ish side, with highs in the mid-70s perhaps and lows in the upper 50s to about 60 degrees. Some kind of front may push through by around Thursday or so, to cool things off a bit, and bring a chance of rain. The front may drop overnight lows into the 40s, or it may not have that much oomph.
So what about the snow chances for Valentine’s Day? Well, perhaps if you’re traveling to Boston for the weekend.

Melania Trump Documentary Fails To Sell Tickets
Poor ticket sales for Melania Trump’s documentary Melania have led to rescue efforts by the GOP that include buying out theater seats to mask the film’s box office struggles, though many are reportedly still uninterested in attending screenings even when tickets are offered for free. What do you think?

“No thanks, I’ve already got tickets to Doug Emhoff in 3D.”
Valerie Tilton, Rodeo Planner

“I’m sure those numbers will tick up after a box office recount.”

White House Denies Flickering, Green Trump A Hologram
WASHINGTON—As concerns continue to mount regarding a potential decline in the president’s physical and mental health, the White House issued a statement Friday denying that a flickering, green Donald Trump was a hologram.
Administration officials dismissed claims that the president had been wavering in and out of focus during recent public appearances and asserted that the subtle green glow emanating from his seemingly translucent body was a sign of his vigorous corporeality. They also stated that witness accounts of Trump passing directly through solid objects like the Resolute desk and the press briefing room podium had been intentionally fabricated by bad actors on the far left.
“The idea that President Trump, the most tangible president in our nation’s history, is a digital facsimile is absolutely ludicrous,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, insisting that the president was working at 100% opacity every single day on behalf of the American people. “Yet another hoax perpetuated by opportunistic Democrats trying to paint the president as some kind of glitching, insubstantial 3D projection.”
She added, “To be clear, this administration will not tolerate the press gaslighting the public into believing that President Trump is anything other than meat and bone.”

Rumors began circulating that the president was actually a hologram after a Cabinet meeting in which his poorly rendered form is said to have appeared jittery and pixelated. But speculation reached a fever pitch during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s recent White House visit, when talks reportedly grew strained after Trump blinked three times and then disappeared completely amid discussions of a $142 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. The administration immediately denied the use of holographic imagery, instead blaming the mishap on a malfunctioning fluorescent tube in one of the Oval Office’s overhead light fixtures.
That explanation fails to account, however, for an incident that took place this week when Trump spoke at a closed-door meeting of donors. According to attendees, the president’s enlarged, disembodied head floated above a lectern, frequently altering in appearance as it inverted into a photo negative, pulsated in bright colors, momentarily donned the spiky cartoon hair of an anime pop idol, and then spent several minutes as a boxy, eight-bit image.
“I feel very confident the president of the United States is a real person,” said Vice President JD Vance, brushing off questions about whether he had ever physically shaken hands with the commander-in-chief. “In all of our interactions, President Trump has always been oriented correctly on his y-axis, with his feet toward the ground and head toward the sky. What’s more, he remains convincingly three-
dimensional even as you move around the room and view him from different angles.”
Amid ongoing public doubt, the White House physician released a memo stating that Trump maintains the highest visual fidelity of any modern head of state, as well as a “healthy, luminescent sheen” exceptional for a man his age. The statement also praised a “truly impressive” drop in the president’s BMI, or body mass index, noting that he can no longer be considered overweight.
In a nationwide poll conducted by Gallup, a majority of respondents said the president failing to exist in material reality would be a serious concern, with 64% disapproving of the way multiple Trumps often show up in locations across the globe delivering identical speeches. A full 90% said they were deeply disturbed by a rally appearance at which Trump opened his mouth and the sound of Luciano Pavarotti’s “Ave Maria” poured out, followed by nine uninterrupted minutes of Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain.”
Addressing the matter in a video message posted to Truth Social, the president criticized the media for failing to raise such questions about former President Joe Biden, whose mouth movements seldom aligned with his voice during his time in office.
“People of America, your President Donald Trump is here…here…here…here in the flesh, okay?” Trump says in the video, in which he appears to power down and disappear into a device projecting a light beam. “I am working hard for the radical left to lie to you. Victorious. I will be Donald John for now and goodbye. Entering sleep mode.”

DOJ Releases Jeffrey Epstein Fragrance
WASHINGTON—In the latest government disclosure about the late financier and convicted pedophile, officials from the Department of Justice announced Tuesday that they were releasing a Jeffrey Epstein fragrance. “The aroma of infatuation, the perfume of the forbidden…DOJ is proud to unveil its new signature Jeffrey Epstein fragrance, Crave by Jeff,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a press conference, holding up a small glass bottle while flanked by blown-up monochrome photographs of Epstein looking up from a massage table. “After reviewing all the evidence in the Epstein case, we’ve managed to distill the child sex trafficker’s very essence down to a single, captivating scent that is as irresistible to British socialites as it is to Harvard professors. Crave features notes of leather from Epstein’s New Mexico ranch as well as real ambergris from the shores of Little Saint James. A limited edition gift set with a Crave lotion and scented massage oil will be available at Macy’s and Forever 21, and all proceeds generated from sales of the fragrance will be given to Epstein’s co-conspirators.” At press time, the DOJ reportedly pulled the Jeffrey Epstein fragrance from shelves after realizing its scent structure contained unmistakable top notes of President Donald Trump.

Conservative Defends Child Molesters In Case He Becomes Child Molester Someday
HOUSTON—Insisting he still believed in the dream that Americans from all circumstances could eventually become sexual deviants, conservative man Samuel Welker reportedly defended child molesters implicated in the Epstein files Monday in case he himself some day became a child molester. “Sure, I don’t have a ton of young girls at my disposal now, but eventually I might have a bunch, and if I do, I hope people won’t rush to judgment just because I happen to molest them on a private island,” said Welker, a 37-year-old auto mechanic who forcefully argued that the country’s greatest sex perverts were “the engine that powers this nation” and deserved to be recognized for their hard work in sexually assaulting minors rather than constantly critiqued for trafficking underage boys and girls. “One of the beautiful things about this country is that people from the humblest walks of life can eventually become notorious sex criminals. These elite child molesters earned their place in child sex rings through the sweat of their brow. What’s incredible is that any American can do the same as long as they work hard and have an overpowering addiction to assaulting defenseless kids.” Welker added that he especially respected Bill Gates, who started out molesting children in a garage in New Mexico and was now one of the nation’s most iconic pedophiles.

Tall Man, Bald Child Duos Applaud Representation In New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Show
LOS ANGELES—Emphasizing the power of finally seeing themselves represented on screen, duos consisting of one tall man and one bald child publicly applauded the HBO series A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Monday. “As a man of above-average stature whose best friend happens to be a hairless child, it’s so meaningful to see stories like mine finally being told,” said 26-year-old medical billing specialist Roger Finch, who recalled tearing up the first time he watched the Game Of Thrones spinoff alongside his best friend, Aiden Wright, a fourth-grader without a single hair on his head. “Like it or not, there are thousands of tall men with bald, 10-year-old sidekicks out here. No, we’re not related. No, he doesn’t have alopecia. I’m just really tall, he’s bald, and we go everywhere together.” At press time, HBO was reportedly facing backlash from tall children whose best friends were bald men.

A Daughter Goes Through Her Dead Millennial Father’s Storage Unit
Why the hell did he save so many Funko Pops? “Dr. Ian Malcolm with His Shirt Open.” “Homer Simpson in a Muumuu.” He’s got two Green Power Rangers, one with the Dragon Dagger and one without. A lot of these say COMIC-CON EXCLUSIVE, which probably makes them more valuable? Although there seem to be so many Con exclusives that the term might not mean anything.
I came to the storage unit on a typical ninety-three-degree day in October of 2065 to sort through these boxes and decide what to save, donate, or trash. “It’s all the junk that we didn’t have space for, but he couldn’t bear to part with,” Mom said.
Well, let’s see what I can let go of.
Here’s a heavy album full of these round, shiny disks. He labeled them PARTY MIX 3, BUFFY MUSICAL EPISODE, COACHELLA 2015, LIMEWIRE SONGS 4. I can probably toss them. Don’t have anything to play them on anyway. Think I’d need something called a Walkman.
This box is marked DRINKWARE, which contains the complete set of McDonald’s commemorative glasses from Batman Returns. Did he think these were going to be worth something someday, or did they mean something to him? And he’s got a dozen red Pizza Hut cups. Can’t imagine they’re safe to drink out of; that plastic must be radioactive. Or maybe they’re insulated against anything that might be in our water supply?
So many T-shirts. Holes and rips in each one, but he kept them. This one says AUSTIN 3:16. Didn’t realize Dad was religious. TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR? Feels niche, even for him. And look at all these concert tees from bands he must’ve seen live. The Oneders. Drive Shaft. Mouse Rat. Their music is probably on one of those burned CDs.
We’ve got a childhood poster of the solar system with Pluto as a planet. And a globe with the USSR covering most of Asia. At least that one is still accurate.
What do you even call this folder thing? The label says it’s a Trapper Keeper. And the characters on the front are named Doug, Rocko, and Tommy Pickles? Ohhh! I recognize them. They’re from Nickelodeon shows. I watched a few of those. Most seasons were streaming on ParaWarnerVersal+.
I almost tripped over this big plastic brick. It’s a TI-83 graphing calculator. Either he thought he would need it for his career, or he felt an emotional connection to it. He worked in AI Annotation his whole life. Never needed math. Maybe he just wanted to play Snake?
He’s got boxes and boxes of his favorite books. The strategy guides for Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Myst. Goosebumps paperbacks. Oh, cool! He has the complete set of Game of Thrones—all five books.
Here’s a poster board from a science fair project: THE EFFECTS OF MUSIC ON PLANT GROWTH. It does have a blue ribbon taped to it, so it must have been a winner. Nope. That was for participation. Makes sense. If music helped regrow farms, we wouldn’t be eating crickets and iron tablets for every meal.
Great. More discs. DVD box sets for every season of The West Wing, Arrested Development, and Futurama, as well as The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions on DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K. Mom always mocked him, saying that he was stockpiling physical media for when the internet went out. And then 2033 happened. Stopped watch, I suppose.
This box seems to be all of his college notebooks. Here’s his thesis, sixty-eight pages on “Cognitive Dissonance and Voyeurism in the Filmography of Steven Soderbergh.” Maybe he thought that some day we’d need all of his papers for a museum exhibit or his Presidential Library. Ha. As though those exist anymore.
There are a few shelves of Star Wars Lego sets, all intact with instructions never to disassemble them. Ever. Such a narcissistic generation.
OH MY GOD. He has boxes of Pokémon cards! They’re still accepted as legal tender in most states. They hold more value than any stablecoin or world currency. A foil Charizard! I could take this to the exchange and buy a month’s worth of ethanol or sorghum credits. Everything else could go in the trash compactor, but these are MINE.
The last box is simply marked MEMORIES. Let me guess: Inside are Simpsons comics, Ninja Turtle temporary tattoos, or ticket stubs for Blink One Hundred and Eighty Two.
How about that? It’s full of photos. Some of us on vacation. And the refrigerator magnet I made in first grade. The postcard that I sent while abroad in the Bear Flag Republic. A Father’s Day card with my handprint on it.
And there’s a letter.
Kiddo, if you’re reading this, it means that I’m gone. I saved everything in this unit because it brought back memories for me. The most important ones, though, are the ones I made with you. I hope that everything in this box sparks memories, and that way, you’ll keep a piece of me with you forever. PS, the Pokémon cards aren’t originals. They’re from a 2016 promotional reprint to tie in with the release of Pokémon Go.
Thanks, Dad. I’ll throw these in the Trapper Keeper and bring them along. I’ll keep them close as I make my way back through the wasteland. But first, let me grab that Jeff Goldblum Funko. That one’s still pretty cool.

I’m in trouble for sexist and ageist remarks — but no one will tell me what I said
A reader writes:
I was called in to a last-minute end-of-day meeting yesterday … that ended up being with my boss, his boss, and HR. They told me that I’ve been accused of making sexist and ageist comments at work, and I’m baffled. I’ve been wracking my brain and can’t figure out what they could be referring to, AND THEY REFUSE TO TELL ME. They won’t even give me a hint. They basically said, “Think about what it might have been and don’t do it again or your job is at risk.”
I don’t know whether it was one complaint or many, or even if it’s true at all (there is one person at work I think might be trying to get me fired.) How do I defend and/or protect myself? Or, if it’s true and I said something boneheaded, how do I improve if I don’t know what I did wrong?
I’m a man in my 50s and have never been accused of anything of the sort – it’s not like I’m new to the work world. I feel so demoralized by this, and mortified if I actually did say something that was perceived as “ist.” How should I respond?
If they actually want you to not to do it again, it’s absurd that they’re refusing to tell you what it was. Someone interested in you learning and changing would realize they needed to actually share with you what the issue was. “Think on it and figure it out on your own” is ridiculous feedback. It also means anyone can accuse you of anything at any time, and you can never defend yourself.
I’d say this: “I’m mortified that something that landed that way. I’m committed to treating everyone here with respect, and I would never want someone to feel alienated in the way the types of comments you described can do. But I’m also having trouble acting on this feedback because, after racking my brain to think about whether I might have worded something badly or even just said it in a way that left me open to misinterpretation, I can’t for the life of me figure out what happened. Are you able to share the specific concern with me? If there’s something I’m saying that’s landing differently than I realize, I need to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
You might also say, “If the concern in sharing specifics with me is that I might hold it against that person or make them uncomfortable in some way, I can assure you I’m committed to not doing that. I know the only way people feel safe reporting these concerns is when they don’t need to worry about it causing tension, and I want to respect that.”
That said … “we’re going to threaten your job and refuse to discuss specifics” doesn’t bode well for this place in general.

In Honor of Black History Month
According to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the founders of Black History Month, 2026 marks “a century of Black history commemorations.” The organization was established in 1915, and in 1926 Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson announced the inaugural Negro History Week. By the 1940s some communities had begun celebrating a full month of Black history, and in the late 1960s Black History Month became more widespread.
In honor of Black History Month, Glasstire is sharing recent and past articles featuring Black artists, arts professionals, and organizations across Texas.

The Texas African American Photography Archive in Dallas Expands Photo History
Last month, Cammie Tipton-Amini wrote an in depth profile about the Dallas-based Texas African American Photography Archive (TAAPA). Her article brought focus to the important work of TAAPA, which is the first archive to focus solely on Black photographers in Texas.
“In 1984, after Govenar received a commission from the Dallas Museum of Art, he began researching Black photographers in Texas, because none were included in a two-volume history of photography in the state that was being published at the time by Texas Monthly Press. A decade later, Govenar and artist Kaleta Doolin founded TAAPA…”

“So, This is Love”: A Lesson in Taking Black Worlds Seriously
Also in December, first-time Glasstire contributor Chelsea Lynn Jones reviewed Tomashi Jackson: Across the Universe at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (on view through March 29, 2026). On social media, the artist called the review “one of the most moving pieces I’ve ever read about what I’m trying to do.” In July 2025, photographer Emily Peacock interviewed Jackson about her art practice.
“With significant observation of community activism and American governance, Across the Universe is a timely dialogue for the work it takes to see people and their histories honestly — to shift narratives or even save lives by showing up with love.”

Review: “Figurative Histories” at the Moody Center For the Arts, Houston
Last summer, Vicki Meek, a powerhouse artist and community advocate in her own right, reviewed an exhibition featuring four Texas artists whose work explores dialogues around the Black body. Meek captures the connections and divergences in works by David McGee, Earlie Hudnall Jr., Delita Pinchback Martin, and Letitia Huckaby.
“Taking the work beyond a prescribed frame and giving it a sculptural embodiment makes so much sense for Martin as she doubles down on a visual conversation about the spiritual nature of Black sisterhood.”

Jazz & “Joe Overstreet: Taking Flight” at the Menil Collection, Houston
Last May, Michele Brangwen walked through the Joe Overstreet: Taking Flight exhibition at the Menil with saxophonist and composer James Brandon Lewis and trumpeter and composer Tim Hagans. The trio discussed the work on view, as well as their own artistic practices, providing insight into multidisciplinary approaches.
“One of my favorite philosophers, Henri Bergson, talks about intuition, and I think about this when it comes to melody. A person who is analyzing something, like we are analyzing this piece, knows all the dimensions and everything, but they are outside of the object. He said a person who is using their intuition becomes the object. It is not enough to play the melody and analyze it; you have to become it, which is an entirely different way of thinking.”

A Monument Project in Tumultuous Times
In February 2025, Jessica Fuentes wrote about Christopher Blay’s East Rosedale Monument Project, a new Fort Worth Public Art work that highlights the significance and history of buses in the Civil Rights movement. The piece speaks to both national and local voices and stories.
“Public art can be a long process; it necessarily involves collaboration at every level. When done well, the end result is more than a physical work of art, it brings a community together in celebration.”

Powerful Craft: a Review of “Woven Together” at Kinfolk House
In April 2023, Megan Wilson Krznarich reviewed an exhibition featuring Kandy Lopez and Deyjah Stewart at Kinfolk House, a collaborative art space founded by Sedrick and Letitia Huckaby. While detailing the individual artists’ practices, Krznarich spoke to the history of textile work and the power it has to bring people together.
“Quilting is a tradition often passed down through families, from mothers, grandmothers, and aunties. It has a long tradition in the African American community as well. Historically, it was an opportunity for creative expression and leisure, in times when Black women were not readily afforded either.”

Update: 101 Black Artists Living and Working in Texas
In 2021, Christopher Blay, who was then News Editor at Glasstire, published a list of 101 Black Texas artists. The intention was to start a conversation about the limited attention that many museums and institutions give to Black artists by creating a reference list that could be “referred to the other 11 months of the year.” The piece was a follow-up to his 2020 article “Black Artists Should Sit Out Black History Month.”
“As this overall list continues to grow, please come back often, and visit the artist websites we have listed below, as well as the comments section of this article (and on our social media accounts) for the names of even more Black artists living and working Texas.”

Whites Only: Diversity and the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas
In March 2014, Darryl Ratcliff presented data about the lack of representation of Black artists by galleries that were part of the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas (CADD). Speaking to a larger conversation about whiteness in the art world, Ratcliff pointed to unsurprising, but frustrating numbers.
“To put it in terms of percentages: 50% of shows went to white guys, 38% of shows went to females, and 15% went to racial minorities. Only 2% of shows during this time period went to Black people.”

In December 2014, Betsy Huete wrote about Robert Hodge and Phillip Pyle II’s performances, in which they remade works by The Art Guys. Huete wrote about her original cynicism about the idea, but also came to understand how the work, now presented by two Black men, was changed.
“As I looked around, I noticed a community of people genuinely enjoying each other’s time. It became clear then that The Black Guys isn’t a two-man show: it’s a community effort.”
