February 2021 South Central Texas Historical Winter Storm EventSouth-Central Texas Winter Storm EventFebruary 10-18, 2021Event SummaryOverviewAn unprecedented and historical eight-day period of winter weather occurred between 10 Februaryand 18 February across South-Central Texas. The first push of arctic air arrived in the area on 10 February,with the cold air dropping temperatures into the 20s and 30s across most of the area. The first of several frozenprecipitation events occurred on the morning of 11 February where up to 0.75 inches of freezing rainaccumulated on surfaces in Llano and Burnet Counties and 0.25-0.50 inches of freezing rain accumulatedacross the Austin metropolitan area with lesser amounts in portions of the Hill Country and New Braunfelsarea.For several days, the cold air mass remained in place across South-Central Texas, but a much colderair mass remained stationary across the Northern Plains. This record-breaking arctic air was able to finallymove south into the region late on 14 February and into 15 February as a strong upper level low-pressuresystem moved through the Southern Plains. As this system moved through the region, snow began to fall andtemperatures quickly fell into the single digits and teens. Most areas of South-Central Texas picked up at leastan inch of snow with the highest amounts seen from Del Rio and Eagle Pass extending to the northeast intothe Austin and San Antonio areas. Many areas along and near Interstate 35 reported 3 to 8 inches of snow.With the cold arctic air mass still in place and temperatures still below freezing, another upper leveldisturbance approaches from the west. Ahead of it, warm air aloft led to freezing rain across the Hill Countryand I-35 corridor on the evening of 16 February and into the morning of the 17 th. Widespread areas recordedup to 0.25 inches of additional ice accumulation, with higher amounts of up to 0.6 inches of ice on already icedor snow-covered surfaces. Meanwhile, the upper disturbance sent a reinforcing cold front into the area theevening of the 17th. From the west, mixed precipitation in the form of freezing rain, sleet, graupel, and snowspread east and transitioned to all snow by the following Thursday morning. Significant record snowfallamounts as high as 11 inches fell in the Del Rio area, and the snow area spread east into the I-35 corridor.San Antonio recorded 2-3 inches, and Austin received less than an inch. Areas along Highway 90 betweenDel Rio and San Antonio picked up 4-7 inches, with some isolated higher totals.The blast of arctic air broke daily records for climate sites in the region. All climate sites saw 5 to 6consecutive days of temperature records as well as multiple days of record-breaking snowfall. Thisunforgettable event had catastrophic impacts to the entire state of Texas, including South Central Texas, withfailed power grids, burst water pipes, and limited road and air travel.
