Snow Day in Austin

I wouldn't go so far as to say snow is rare in Austin. We average about an inch per year. That being said, we can go 5 years without any and then get a rare 5-inches. What is unusual is seeing it fall during the day! Most of the snows I've seen here happen at night and you see it when you wake up in the morning.

This winter I've seen it snow during the day twice: some flurries back in December and today. The flakes today were very large and it has snowed off and on for about 3 hours now. This shit should be ending by around 2pm. That should make the commuters very happy.
