Welcome Fans, Friends, and Visitors,

Hi.

Hi.  The Christian New Year begins this week.  This is yet another excuse to party.  This is also the last week of the NFL 16-game regular season of 32 teams as well as the first week of the 4-rounds of the playoffs.  The playoffs bring more excitement with the 10 best remaining teams vying for the Super Bowl.

Weather in Houston

From mid-December through February, Houston can deal with heavy fog in the morning until about 10:00 AM.  If the temperature of the air sinks below its dew point, water vapor will condense around dust in the air to form fog.  The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor.  The dew point is similar, but not the same as humidity.  A comfortable dew point is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit/15 degrees Centigrade and below.  The dewpoint is often 75 degrees Fahrenheit/24 degrees Centigrade and higher.  Thus, when the air temperature is lower than the dew point, Houston has fog.  Click here for the weekly report.

Holiday Lights Tours are the most popular themed tour of the year.  We offer 9 such tours.  This week, save on the 5-hour Holiday Lights Tour H.  A variation exists on this tour for 2019.  The Dickinson Festival of Lights (FOL) has been canceled due to park construction.  We will substitute the Texas City Magical Winter Lights (MWL) for the Dickinson FOL.  The MWL has lantern exhibits, acrobatic performances, carnival rides, and games.  The FOL and its parking were FREE.  The MWL has admission charges and parking fees.  As of the writing of this blog, MWL has not posted the fees on its website, nor has it posted the telephone number.  The price will have to be determined at a later date.  Click here to read a description.
